	Caravaggio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Caravaggio’s father Fermo Merisi was a household administrator and architect-decorator to Francesco Sforza, Marchese of Caravaggio, a town some thirty kilometers from Milan.
		Caravaggio appears to have stayed in the Milan-Caravaggio area after his apprenticeship ended, but it is possible that he visited Venice and saw the works of Giorgione, whom he was later accused of aping, as well as those of his teacher’s master, Titian.
		Caravaggio “put the oscuro (shade) into chiaroscuro.” Chiaroscuro had existed well before he came on the scene, but it was Caravaggio who made the technique definitive, darkening the shadows and transfixing the subject in a blinding shaft of light.

	S. Giora Shoham - Caravaggio: The Violent Enlightenment - JCJPC - Volume 6, Issue 3
		Caravaggio spent his early childhood in Lombardy, and was apprenticed about the age of 12 to a mediocre Milanese painter, Simone Peterzano, from whom he learned the basics of mixing paints, choosing brushes and constructing frames.
		Caravaggio's starkly contrasting shadows and the light flooding his accentuated subjects are extremely innovative since the illumination seems to come from nowhere, as if it sprouts from the inner self of the [End page 74] artist to trigger, maieutically, a torrent of light within the viewer's psyche.
		This is Caravaggio's inability to ward off the stigmata hurled at him from all sides, a good part of which he knew to be justified; his fractured personality could not but cope with these stigmata in the only way it could; pass judgment on himself by means of his art.

		Caravaggio has left few personal records by his own hand but the interpretations of his paintings by generations of art historians, combined with recently unearthed archival information, provides a rich history of the man and his time.
		The head of Bacchus is crowned with clusters of fl and white grapes and senescing leaves, one of which is turning red, probably an indication of crown gall, induced by Agrobacterium tumefaciens.
		Whether they are by Caravaggio alone, or by a team including Caravaggio, has been debated (see Spike, 2003), but the suggestion of a collaboration is not beyond the pale, since the composition is certainly different from the known fruit paintings of Caravaggio and could very well have been painted as a studio commission.

		Bacchus was painted by Caravaggio (Michelangelo Merisi) shortly after he arrived in Rome in 1589.
		In Bacchus, Caravaggio treats the subject with remarkable simplicity: the painting is rather light on detail, instead focusing on the form and provocative, playful gaze expression of the Roman god.
		The juxtaposition of this mythic figure with a mood and setting that evoke commonality is actually typical of Caravaggio's work: his favorite subject was that of the sacred or mythic story, transposed to an everyday environment and presentation.

		Caravaggio stunned the Seicento art world when he revealed his huge, 3m x 3m, canvases in the Contarelli Chapel, at the Church of San Luigi dei Francesi in Rome.
		Hockney goes on to postulate that someone gave Caravaggio a new lens, possibly his powerful patron of the time Cardinal Del Monte, introducing him to the idea of using it instead of a concave mirror to project the camera obscura effect.
		Caravaggio’s experimentation with simple lens-projections covered a period of about five years, in other words first his group of “small paintings done in the mirror” (the concave mirror-lens), followed by the Uffizi Bacchus and other medium-sized paintings from around that time (using a biconvex lens).

		Giovanni Baglione, painter, friend and biographer of Caravaggio refers to it as follows:" And he went to live alone he made some paintings of himself reflected in the mirror, and the first was a Bacchus with many bunches of grapes, painted with great diligence, but in a rather dry manner…."
		The Bacchus was soon bought by the Cardinale del Monte who "for his appreciation of the painting" lodged Merisi in his house and gave him "part and provision", or food, board and salary.
		In this list there is clearly described the Satyr crowned with ivy (new Bacchino malato/Sick Bacchus), thus showing the presence of the Bacchino malato in the house of Arpino, who was a colleague and guest of Caravaggio’s before the latter took lodgings with Cardinal del monte.

		The livid colors of the subject's face, his teasing smile and the mock seriousness of his mythological dignity all reinforce the attempt to undermine the lofty pretensions of Renaissance artistic traditions..
		Caravaggio here makes no attempt to paint the god Bacchus, but just a sickly young man who may be suffering from the after-effects of a hangover &emdash;appropriate for the god of wine.
		His appearance is striking rather than handsome: he shows both that his face is unhealthy and that his right shoulder is not that of a bronzed Adonis, as convention required, but pale as in the case of any man who normally wears clothes.

		This is not Bacchus himself, but some perfectly ordinary individual dressed up as Bacchus, who looks at us rather wearily and yet alertly.

		I liked this picture because it seems different than the rest of Caravaggio's work, being that he seems to have put much more light into this painting than many of his other works.
		Although the expression on the face of Bacchus is not particularly joyful, the overall mood of the painting seems cheerful because of the use of extra light and brightness.
		The painting also seems to reflect the personality of Bacchus himself, as he is depicted her holding a glass of wine and has a pitcher of wine on the table in front of him, as well as being surrounded by the jovial colours.
