		Caravaggio was destined to turn a large part of European art away from the ideal viewpoint of the Renaissance to the concept that simple reality was of primary importance.

		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.

		Catherine Puglisi's Caravaggio (LJ 4/1/99) is a superior introduction to the artist and his works, while Helen Langdon's Caravaggio: A Life (LJ 6/1/99) is a superior biographical and contextual study.
		With its fresh insights, as well as judicious readings of the documents and the physical evidence of the paintings themselves, Caravaggio is the most thorough study on the artist to date, and it will no doubt remain a definitive monograph for many years to come.
		Caravaggio is one of the most magnificent of the Seventeenth Centruy Italian artists.

	Caravaggio
		The two painters it is true, were on the best of terms – which was no easy matter in the case of Caravaggio, for he was of a wild and irascible temper, quick to take offence and even to run a dagger through a man. But his work was on different lines from Carracci’s.
		In point of fact, Caravaggio was far too great and serious an artist to fritter away his time to cause a sensation.
		Caravaggio’s “naturalism”, that is, his intention to copy nature faithfully, whether we think it ugly or beautiful, was perhaps more devout than Caracci’s emphasis on beauty.

		Caravaggio's novelty was a radical naturalism which combined close physical observation with a dramatic, even theatrical, approach to chiaroscuro, the use of light and shadow.
		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, and of Titian.
		But Caravaggio scholar John Gash suggests that the problem for the Carmelites may have been theological rather than aesthetic, in that Caravaggio's version fails to assert the doctrine of the Assumption of Mary, the idea that the Mother of God did not die in any ordinary sense but was assumed into Heaven.

		By 1660, Nicolas Poussin could claim that Caravaggio, by then dead for half a century, 'had come into the world to destroy painting.' For Stendhal he was 'a great painter, but a wicked man,' and most of the people who have loved his paintings would tend to agree.

	Caravaggio -- Michelangelo Merisi
		Despite Caravaggio's influential friends, he was always in trouble, often arrested, and finally forced to flee Rome, first, in 1605, for stabbing a man in a fight over a woman, and again in 1606 after killing a friend in a sword fight that started with a disputed score in a tennis match.
		Among those who remained active in Rome for a few years after Caravaggio's death was Francesco Buoneri, also known as Cecco del Caravaggio, who may have first entered Caravaggio's circle as a model for several of the early provocative pictures of young boys.
		Caravaggio also did something else, which is not part of "tenebroso" per se, and that was his perfection of the technique of placing the bright light source behind the plane of the picture frame.

	Movie Reviews by Edwin Jahiel
		Caravaggio used models for paintings and Jarman goes to the paintings to reproduce the models as living still lifes, in minute reconstructions.
		Jarman repeats Caravaggio's magnificent use of sometimes brutal light in what is the best demonstration of chiaroscuro, a Caravaggio innovation and, to this day, a lesson about the immense possibilities of one-source lighting.
		What was shock for Caravaggio's contemporaries is a different shock, that of recognition, for us, as familiar paintings follow one another, "coming to you live" as well as on on canvas.

		When it appeared on the art market it was not immediately recognized, however, because Saint Andrew had traditionally-though mistakenly-been depicted on a cross with diagonal beams rather than an upright Latin cross, as in the present painting.
		Caravaggio subtly employed all possible means to create the impression of rigidity, as he captured the amazement on the onlookers' faces.
		Although Caravaggio never painted Christ on the Cross, he invested this Crucifixion of Saint Andrew with the same seriousness, dignity, and compassion found in the moving representations of Christ on the Cross painted by the great masters.

	Caravaggio (1986) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		This beautiful visionary art film based on the director's take of the life of Caravaggio was worth the almost 7 years it took to make it.
		This film is more of a fictionalization on Caravaggio using the artist's works as a way to pursue the story of the artist.
		When he is on screen he steals the movie, as his animal magnetism, sexual energy, and wild persona grip the film and propel the story forward.
