Kokoelma: Caravaggio

Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571–1610), commonly known as Caravaggio, was an Italian Baroque painter.

Caravaggio's art is characterized by dramatic contrasts of light and shadow (chiaroscuro). His intense realism and emotional depth revolutionized religious and genre painting. His works, such as “The Calling of Saint Matthew” and “Judith Beheading Holofernes,” remain iconic examples of Baroque art.
