Caravaggio
Italian Baroque painter Caravaggio (1573 - 1610), originally Michelangelo Merisi, circa 1600. ©
Caravaggio was a Baroque artist and the greatest Italian painter of the 17th century.
Michelangelo Merisi was born in September 1571 in Caravaggio, near Milan and was always known by the name of his hometown. In 1584 he was apprenticed for four years to Simone Peterzano, an artist working in Milan. Caravaggio moved to Rome in the early 1590s. He specialised in still lifes and later in half-length figures such as 'Boy with a Basket of Fruit'
An early patron was Cardinal del Monte, a leading art connoisseur in Rome.
It was probably through the Cardinal that in 1599 he obtained the commission to decorate the Contarelli Chapel in the French church in Rome with scenes from the life of St Matthew. These paintings were his first public work and they caused a sensation with their extreme realism and dramatic contrasts of light and shade. He then secured a string of prestigious commissions, many of them religious works.
In 1609 Caravaggio was severely wounded in a brawl in a tavern in Naples. In 1610 he was pardoned for the murder he had committed in Rome but died of a fever in July of the same year.
