Italian · 1571–1610
Michelangelo Merisi became known as Caravaggio after the Lombard town associated with his family. Born in 1571, he trained in Milan before moving to Rome in 1592. Early pictures of fruit, flowers and half-length figures showed an unusual attention to things seen at close quarters. The patronage of Cardinal Francesco del Monte helped bring commissions and a growing reputation.
Caravaggio worked from posed models and brought ordinary people into ambitious religious paintings. Figures often press towards the front of the picture, while strong contrasts of light and shadow concentrate attention on a moment of action. His approach offered a new emotional intensity, and painters across Europe responded to its directness. The people in these scenes have weight, expression and a compelling sense of presence.
