Caravaggio
Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio was an Italian painter active in Rome for most of his artistic life. In the last four years of his life he moved between Naples, Malta and Sicily until his death. His paintings combine practical observations of the human state, both physically and emotionally, with the dramatic use of light which has a formative effect on Baroque painting. Caravaggio used close physical observation with an impressive use of chiaroscuro known as tenebrism. He made this technique a style staple, darkening shadows and turning subjects into clear axes. Caravaggio vividly portrayed key moments and scenes, often in violent struggles, torture and death. He works quickly, with live models, likes to skip drawings and work directly on canvas. Its influence on the neo-modernist baroque style is profound.
