Mercurial, saturnine, scandalous and unpredictable, Caravaggio - as
a man, as a character and as an artist - holds dramatic appeal. He
spent a large part of his life on the run, leaving a trail of
illuminated chaos wherever he passed, most of it recorded in
criminal justice records. When he did settle for long enough to
paint, he produced works of staggering creativity and technical
innovation. He was famous throughout Italy for his fulminating
temper, but also for his radical and sensitive humanisation of
biblical stories, and in particular his decision to include the
brutal and dirty life of the street in his paintings. Caravaggio
was a rebel and a violent man, but he eyed the world with deep
empathy, realism and an unrelenting honesty.
