  • I am personally entrusted with the present sale of two old masters paintings (Caravaggio and an El Greco). Both have reports by recognized experts which include x-ray reports and appraisals.

  • No computer imaging will ever match this type of art that comes from the human mind and hand. I don't care how advanced, the computer will never in a million years be able to duplicate this type of genius.

  • @xxdonaldqxxx

    What do you mean by computer imaging? Do you mean digital painting by a painter, or do you mean a computer that can create art by itself magically? A medium is a medium, one isn't better than the other since it's completely subjective. Imagine if Caravaggio or Picasso did all their work in photoshop or painter, the work would still be phenomenal despite the the difference in medium, it's the painter who makes the piece not the medium.

  • @SupremeCommander360 In my humble opinion I believe one day soon people without very much talent will be able to use a computer to generate art. Look what is already happening with music. In movies flesh and blood actors are soon going to be replaced with commuter images that look and sound very real. The computer is a great invention but it is causing us to lose part of our humanity along with the human touch. However the computer will never be as good as the real thing.

  • @xxdonaldqxxx

    People can already use a computer to generate art, in fact people have been doing it for the past 20+ years, where have you been?

    Just because computers have been used to create art doesn't mean that people are losing their humanity as a result. As I said before, a medium is a medium, a human is the only element that can judge how that medium is to be used.

    Also, the term "art" is much too broad, you need to be more specific with what you are describing.

  • @xxdonaldqxxx

    The "flesh and blood actors" that you describe already exist, just watch the latest blockbuster and you are bound to see a full cgi actor somewhere; Gollum, Lord of the Rings, Avatar. All of the cgi characters in these films were created by artists, the models and animations have just as much humanity in them as any famous paintings do. The human element will never be removed, unless we can develop true artificial intelligence that can think like we do.

  • @xxdonaldqxxx Have to disagree there, take a trip over to cghub.com to see some of the amazing digital artwork being produced on computers, the medium is different, but digital painting is almost exactly the same process as traditional painting, but faster and without the mess.

  • @xxdonaldqxxx Computers are just allowing people to achieve great results, even though they're not naturally skilled. It means that lots of people can practice their hobby without spending half of their life trying to achieve a certain perfection they won't probably get. Also, don't you think Photoshop and similar software are easy to use, because it's a wrong preconception.

    This is still valid when we talk about music. You don't have to be a genius, in order to play in a band.

  • makes me wanna cry ! so perfect, a perfection i will never reach... i m a drawer/artist

  • Caravagio is better than you Annibale Carracci :K huhuhu

  • I have so much respect for these guys, they will forever be immortal with their incredible work. Cara respect...

  • Love the BoC mash-up with Caravaggio. Beautiful.

    *****

  • Amazing artist. His use of light and dark in his paintings was incredible. Superb detailing and immaculate anatomy. I could really feel the mood and atmosphere of his imagery.

  • Beautiful video ! fantastic ! I love Caravaggio very much !

  • caravaggio m gusta mucho sus obras uno de los mejores, buen video

  • Great works of art by the master of light and dark... truly extraordinary!

  • His paintings are very dark bu very realistic at the same time. Almost like a dark photograph.

  • No, Al Gore.

  • at 1:30..It took me forever to find Jesus xD

  • Dark and light at the same time..Cool!

  • instead of making odd remarks,i think this video is a piece of art in itself.

    enjoy what the the master left to us.

    even mr.van rhijn enjoy,t his art.

    lovely!

  • Nice montage ~ thank you for putting this together.

  • European art always ruled the world !!!

  • Excuse me but almost all the images are compressed laterally. This is unacceptable. Nobody noticed this fact? :-)

  • superphantazm ........Americans are imbeciles............what a tool deuchebag u r

  • Man you did such an amazing job with combining the music and pictures on this. It really sets the mood of his works.

  • ottimo wowww , bravo bravo bravissimo, complimenti davvero.....

  • thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks a lot for this movie ;D

  • Love it!

    At the end scene after shots of each person, I was rather wanting the shot to pan right from the beheading party to the prisoners, then zoom in slowly on them watching intently.

    But this was beautifully done. Bravo.

  • caravaggio is a god

  • Caravaggio is quite possibly my favorite artist of all time. When I discovered a magazine about his works buried in my art classroom I fell in love. Not only is the morbid appeal of some of his paintings incredible, so is the contrasts of light and dark. There's so many beautiful, creepy, and amazing aspects of his paintings...And his life was just as interesting.

  • il grande caravaggio...

    la sua bellezza viverà per sempre!

  • his art is not beatifull, its more like creepy and amazing. u feel so little after seen his paintings in real

  • incredulity of thomas and young sick bacchus are my favorites

  • SUBLIME

  • Nice Video.  Caravaggio is amazing

  • A master with lights and shadows !

  • @9Naethy SEMPLICEMENTE REIDUTTIVO. RIDICOLO

  • @9Naethy SEMPLICEMENTE RIDUTTIVO

  • check out more Art Instruction videos 3kickstudio

  • caravagioists.....please remove the youtube Orwellian killers....we are forever your loyalists....

  • pompous little bastard. But, hey, what's any artist but a pompous little bastard ?

  • Ole Caravaggio was a Christian who, therefore, recognized this world as utterly fallen, though he may have gone a bit overboard. But what is good art if it doesn't go a bit overboard ?

  • Ole Caravaggio was a Christian who, therefore, recognized this world as utterly fallen

  • The music sucks. I can't watch this video

  • EAT THIS, JEFF KOONS !! LOL

  • Americans are imbeciles.

  • @SUPERPHANTAZM I hate how everyone says this, have you ever been to America?

  • @SUPERPHANTAZM Sorry if you have experienced some Americans as imbeciles, not all of us are bad.

  • @davidhilton I know. Thanks.

  • @SUPERPHANTAZM

    im not american ...but why would you even make a stupid comment like that on this page where it has no reference to this video?

    sounds to me like you are just very unhappy and/or full of hate!

  • @SUPERPHANTAZM

    What a generalized statement. I am from the United States, and I won't make such a statement. Enjoy the art.

  • @SUPERPHANTAZM shutup loser

  • @SUPERPHANTAZM i live in america..and i confirm that

  • @SUPERPHANTAZM I live in America and i agree!!! lol!!

  • @SUPERPHANTAZM

    Well, we did inherit our religions for the "old" world. So I guess it's systemic to the world?

  • @SUPERPHANTAZM yeah they are the most stupid and ignorat people in the world

  • @SUPERPHANTAZM Yeah, except you wouldn't be at a computer without our imbeciles.

  • @Pumarisi124 If you mean Electronic Computer, it was a man called Alan Turing from Cambridge UK, who was drafted in to Bletchley park secret base where they worked at cracking the WWII enigma codes that the Germans used every day. Only an Imbecile American would believe they invented the first computer. You probably thought Bill Gates was the inventor! Anyhow, my two cents worth.

  • yep. all americans are idiots. and no other countries have stupid people. thats solid reasoning, right?

  • @SUPERPHANTAZM You're probably just an imbecile yourself, aren't you, pal!

  • @SUPERPHANTAZM

    we are all imbeciles, we are just the greatest of them all.

  • @SUPERPHANTAZM sadly that is 1/2 true -_-

  • @SUPERPHANTAZM

    "Americans are imbeciles." Yes, many Americans are imbeciles, I would expect that the people of every other nation on earth are imbeciles as well, but to say that all are imbeciles is not to say that it is true.

  • Possibly good choice of music because it is contrasting and DEFINITELY NOT memorable...except for the nausea. C was an artist with street smarts...did that influence the choice?

  • first inventor of striking contrast of lingt and shadow. easy to see how the movie godfather was made under the influneced by caravaggio.

  • @Verityseo semplicemente realista. la sua mano raffigurava con ineguagliata verita' cio' che gli occhi vedevano,nell'epoca in cui visse. il contrasto, in tal contesto non e' che una semplice e banale bazzecola.

  • @Verityseo non ha inventato un bel niente sul contrasto,almeno. e' il realismo di cio'  che ha dipinto,le espressioni prive di filtri,cio che la sua EPOCA HA SOTTOPOSTO ALLA SUA MANO GENIALE A FARNE UN'IMMORTALE. CAPACE DI STUPIRE AD OGNI SGUARDO

  • @Verityseo First was Leonardo Da Vinci, Caravaggio considered himself the only true follower of Da Vinci, it is definantly the school of Da Vinci.

  • what exactly is going on at 2:41?? looks painful...

  • @BlueZephyr16 They are examining Christ's wounds, "Doubting Thomas", the thing I love most about Caravaggio's work is his dramatic and humanistic paintings that he does.

  • @BlueZephyr16 2:41 We have seen the Lord.

    Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and place my finger into the mark of the nails, and place my hand into his side, I will never believe.

    Jesus ressurected and Saint Thomas, he is seeing if it is really Jesus ressurected.

  • there is a mystery behind every image

  • Great work ! redemption and judgement.

  • I wrote this 4 Months ago, in the comments section for this movie:

    "Best at chiaroscuro still. Nobody is touching this guy. It's not just the work of an artist, it's the artist behind the work. His style is parallel to his life. Art school kids know nothing of this type of artist, they no longer exist in this society. During this time the masters starting training at 2-3 years old and were masters by 13 years old."

  • @MOXWELLDIAMOND

    Listen, you sounds silly if you keep replying.

    I already know chiaroscuro means and that Caravaggio use it on his paintings.

    I'm an artist and right now, I'm studying art history.

  • @CloudsofBliss That's great, I teach art history, and have studied multiple books on Italian Baroque painting in my leisure time. Your knowledge is minimal for how loud you roar. You should look into Composition 100 before your Art history 101, it's a requirement. Sentences like 'Listen you sounds silly' won't pass you at any creditable institutions. Composition will help you greatly.

  • @MOXWELLDIAMOND

    Then you should know Caravaggio and his techinques. Also, I know Italian Baroque (Baroque period specificly) and other art periods. Why?

    No. I have hundreds of art history books. I learn history myself, not just a teacher. Also, I learn the old master techinques because I'm an talent artist.

    P.S. Why you on YouTube? Teachers suppose have tons of responiblity. Are you suppose to grade a paper than watching to a kid's video about Caravaggio.

  • @CloudsofBliss Then how could you not know that Caravaggio was using Tenebrism!? Every book will tell you that, try reading the words, maybe your just looking at the pictures.

    P.S It takes me seconds to type a response, sorry it takes you so long to type.

  • @MOXWELLDIAMOND

    Yeah, buthHe use mostly chiaroscuro. Look at his pictures. Look at every shape of every object, specially the human body parts. Those shadows are amazing!!

    He may use tenebrism, but he use mostly chiaroscuro. He was a master of using this techinque. I don't care if you a teacher or whatever. You are treating me like dirt. If you disagree and view my comments wrong, you could at least respect my opinion of Caravaggio work. I didn't say inappropriate of your opinion.

  • Tenebrism is a style of chiaroscuro. You have a bad attitude, if you speak in a more meaningful and respectful way, you will get better results in your life.

  • @MOXWELLDIAMOND

    No. You are have bad attitude. You need to recheck it. Good bye, sir or madame.

  • Not only do you have a attitude but you also have a ego. "No. I have hundreds of art history books. I learn history myself, not just a teacher. Also, I learn the old master techinques because I'm an talent artist." Give me a break!

    Your knowledge is minimal for how loud you roar."

    Hell, please. I know the world of art since I was five. You don't assume or judging people that you don't know.

    P.S. Don't relpy.

    You are not right either way. So, you need to stop and move on to a another video.

    I don't believe you are a teacher. Why? Your awful behavior towards to me. Your behavior dosen't give any creditable reasons of a nice person or a mature teacher.

  • @CloudsofBliss you don't know many teachers! Hahaha. I have simply responded to all of your comments towards me. I respond just like this to negative students when appropriate. It takes me 5 seconds to type a response, I do it with all my other emails. You can count on the fact that anytime you write a smirk comment, I will respond back.

  • love it

  • Right on, Moxwell! He said "Dipinto bene, et imitare bene les cose naturale" (Paint well, and paint natural things). Thus the blemishes on the fruit, etc. One of my favorite memories is visiting one of the twin churches in Piazza del Popolo, plunking some lire into the machine, and having his St. Paul painting illuminated.

  • seen his painting today in the national art gallery they are unreal

  • @twinkyiscool

    amazing shadows

  • I like these, they remind me of back in school when I would draw these people out of my history books

  • Turpenoid

  • sandyroot1 is right....

  • Entranced with both the images and the music, rather spellbinding! Especially the horse thrown sprawled Paul, almost tumbling out of the painting. Have always found that image both penetrating and provocative. Quite profound the awakening of the spirit.

  • genio assoluto

  • genius. is Master!

  • Yeah all models. THe first painting shown in this video is a self portrait of himself. The severed head is carravagio; it was sent to the pope for redemption for his Homicide conviction. The pope accepted his painting with a letter of clemecy. Caravaggio died right before he received it.

  • Comment removed

  • it`s a good thing to be among a group that appreciates this genius Caravaggio. I think the chances of getting stabbed or shot are very low

  • even more amazing if he used no models

  • Wow. Ok, Caravaggio ONLY drew from models. He said you should only draw what you see. In fact, all of his models were street criminals-who were his friends. That's why carravaggio is so raw, he made realism real

  • Thanks for that insight Mox...never knew that.

  • @MOXWELLDIAMOND

    chirassuro-- I think made it real.

  • Ok, that's your opinion. I disagree with you. 'Chiaroscuro' was used before Caravaggio, before him artists were more interested in the ideal/perfect figure. He brought peoples realistic qualities, to light......people were not perfect, and he showed that, with amazing lighting and Tenebrism. Tenebrism is what I think you mean to refer too.

  • @MOXWELLDIAMOND

    Nope. That's your opinion and you are wrong.

    Yes, it has been around, but he use it into the next level. He have been the icon of the Baroque period because of his use of chiaroscuro.

    realistic qualities.....Every artist use realsitic qualities.

    No, he didn't use tenebrism.

  • 1)Let me help you out; Tenebrism, from the Italian tenebroso ("murky"), (also called dramatic illumination) is a style of painting where chiaroscuro, or using violent contrasts of light and dark, becomes a dominating feature.

    2)Realistic qualities, like using street models which I mentioned earlier?

  • @MOXWELLDIAMOND

    I have already know, thank you, but he is using charoscuro.

  • @CloudsofBliss it's spelled 'Chiaroscuro.'  But I'm sure you know that already too.

  • @MOXWELLDIAMOND

    Grow up! It is just one error. This is Youtube. A hundred of people have alest one spelling mistake. Besides, it isn't worst than a sentence fragment. :) Please, you do not turn into a monster because I disagree with your comment.

    Be mature and move on.

  • @CloudsofBliss, "Nope. That's your opinion and you are wrong." .....and then.... "No, he didn't use tenebrism." Well in my opinion you should grow up, I have simply tried to educate people on this artist and you are the only person to disagree, for no reason, but also to do it in such a provocative manner. Thanks for the disruption, have a good day.

  • @MOXWELLDIAMOND

    Yes, I said that statement. Grow up. You disagree of my comment and I disagree of you comment.

    I still said that you are wrong and so bet it I will not change it.

    This is the real world.

  • Comment removed

  • @CloudsofBliss Why don't you grow up and grow a brain. You know little of the Italian Baroque, obviously. You have provided almost NO information except "he's using chiaroscuro," which maybe the most basic point of information about Caravaggio except that he was Italian. You want to provoke people when you get upset when your wrong. You make little sense, and know little about what you speak on.

  • Comment removed

  • @CloudsofBliss I don't care if you change it, you sound ridiculous. Please stay in art school, maybe eventually you will learn a little more on Italian Baroque Painting and Caravaggio so that you can provide some actual valuable information to provide to those interested 'in the real world.'

  • @CloudsofBliss what is WRONG with you 2? " If I'm not mistaken you (2) damned cuckold(s) you think you are talking to some bum(s)! " Caravaggio's words, not mine. But still relevent >400yrs. later.

  • Still love this video more than 2 years later.

  • me 2

  • yeah me too ! the music just goes perfect with it. must go to rome to see this in reality !!

  • interested in caravaggio? check my profile for a 3d version of the beheading of St. John, located in Malta.

  • I adore Caravaggio !

  • Best at chiaroscuro still. Nobody is touching this guy. It's not just the work of an artist, it's the artist behind the work. His style is parallel to his life. Art school kids know nothing of this type of artist, they no longer exist in this society. During this time the masters starting training at 2-3 years old and were masters by 13 years old.

  • MOST art students aren't aware of this. Some, oh that few, hehehe.

  • he was the best chiaroscuro at that time, no doubt

  • This video gives me chills. The pairing of the paintings shown here with the musical selection was perfect. Something about the way Caravaggio depicted humanity seems to echo across time, you can practically see and feel the people he portrayed in his masterpieces.

  • wonderful!!!!

    ForeverIsis

  • Can never get enough

  • sad thing no one can do that these days we lost the art of painting...

  • YOU lost the sight to see

  • un vero genio!! sono andato a vedere delle opere a Roma.... davvero formidabili dal vivo!!!

  • Excellent video, sir.

  • Genius, check out Camargo Valentino's artwork on myspace very good artist also!!!!! studied under Odd Nerdrum

  • Brilliant!!!

  • Hahah, noooo.

    The best thing about the darkness in Caravaggio is that it's suptle. It's a kind of macabre that lurks beneath the surface of his paintings. As much as I like Giger, painting a wall of cocks or some alient chick giving you a blow job does not make you "dark" or "mysterious". Besides, Francis Bacon was doing what Giger did in the 40's.

  • lol 'suptle' eh?

    love all those guys

    check out simon schama's 'power of art' excellent series on all these dudes( not giger tho) 'nec spe, nec metu' my subtle friend

  • Well i beg to differ on particular point. The images and music certainly does not complement each other. Maybe something like Matchsticks from Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works Vol.II would do the trick.

  • hmm aphex twin! ey up my hard rockin' amigo

  • I have been watching this video for almost two years; still brilliant.

  • i still wish that he didn't lose his temper so that he didn't murder.

    his life for art was too short to show.

    despite of it his works are so brilliant

  • this "genius" didn't know how to draw. He traced over projected images using a camera obscura

  • as did a few of the masters. the idea is: they COULD take the extra time to draw OR they could get right to work on being total, stone-cold geniuses with the paint.

  • dude how did you make this music? assuming you are an ammauter on a laptop, this is awesome. it sounds like its out of a film.

  • It's fuckin Boards of Canada, alright?

  • Very humbling....

  • fantastico!

  • i love caravaggio my favortie is boy with fruit basket

  • Yeah, caravaggio has to rank as the greatest artist of the seventeenth century I do praise his talent and his expert ability to 'wow' the crowds both in his time and still today. Most people see him as a homosexual maniac who killed and insulted but his main purpose in life was to make a great difference and that he did with great success, for example if we take one of his paintings of 'fruit' you can examine the profound ability he painted right down to the last perfect stroke of oil paint...:D

  • so of the 100k views, how many were looking for carvaggio and how many boc ?

  • Amazing artist!

  • Caravaggio used optical tool to trace Models to to discovery news to find out more about it

  • Caravaggio + BoC = Awesomess!

  • >>>stunning art

    I'm a huge fan of Caraggio, good job on the video

  • simply marveluos

  • Caravaggio = best artist ever. No doubt. 100% genius. Utterly brilliant. Never forget him.

  • Very nice. !!!!!
