Power of Art - Caravaggio 1/4

Caravaggio's approach to painting was unconventional. He avoided the standard method of making copies of old sculptures and instead took the more direct approach of painting directly onto canvas without drawing first. He also used people from the street as his models. His dramatic painting was enhanced with intense and theatrical lighting.
Caravaggio's fate was sealed when in 1606 he killed a man in a duel. He fled to Naples where he attempted to paint his way out of trouble, he became a Knight, but was then imprisoned in Malta and then finally he moved to Sicily. He was pardoned for murder in 1610, but he died of a fever attempting to return to Rome.

Caravaggio was the "punk rock" painter of his time ,tearing up the rennaisance rule book and contradicting all conventional art , bowls of fruit in a life and death story , making a god figure into an unhealthy human , clothing jesus in contemporay clothing and keeping him in the shadows , I think only Rembrandt and Jacques Lous -David are his absolute equal as painters.
