 Caravaggio
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.
Caravaggio illustrates the peach in at least four paintings with a remarkable diversity in color.
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.

Caravaggio is in the shadows on the stairs.
Caravaggio knocks at an office whose door is ajar and where the incumbent, FENELON-BARNES, is stripping the room of his personal possessions- photographs, stone branches, a cricket bat.

 Caravaggio :: L'ultimo tempo 1606 / 1610 ::
This relationship between the pictorial art and the city is all the more impressive when it comes to Caravaggio: “so pervasive was the influence of this large mediterranean capital on Caravaggio, as it emerges clearly from commentaries by Porta or Basile; he was plunged into a violent, mimic and desperately low-life environment.
The “Works of Mercy” was an ancient subject that must have come to his mind spontaneously, when, just arrived, he found himself at some famous crossroads, where rich and poor, misery and nobility lived side by side.
Caravaggio wasn’t neapolitan, but Naples “wounded him to death” just like Leopardi, or Anna Maria Ortese, restless souls who found in our city an absolute vision, both tragic and vital, of human existence.

 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.

 Caravaggio -- Michelangelo Merisi   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
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.

Some are lovely, some scenes are worth watching, for a moment or two, but then they drag on and on, like the girl/guy swirling a scarf in front of a painting at a party so long you want to slap her or him.
I say this with reservation: Jarman is hard to like, not merely because his movies are stocked with gratuitous nudity and sex, not merely because he goes into overkill with lighting imagery (never thought I could say that about anyone), and not merely because he never had the money to use a proper set.
Caravaggio puts a coin in his mouth and he takes it with his teeth.

 caravaggio
His original way of shooting a biopic (highly personal but still factual), whereby Caravaggio's most famous works are recreated with actors who are filmed in a style true to Caravaggio's chiaroscuro paintings (the artist's gift to the art world), makes for a one of a kind film.
Caravaggio's most important relationship shown, was with the muscular Ranuccio Thomasoni who first boxed with him and then posed as the assassin in his 'martyrdom' oils.
The other embroiling relationship was with Lena, Ranuccio's mistress and the artist's exotic model for Magdalene and the Virgin, whose pregnancy becomes a tragic moment for her.

 UD prof plays major role in Caravaggio exhibitions
A leading authority on Caravaggio’s later works and a foremost scholar on the social and religious contexts within which the 17th-Century Italian painter worked, Stone contributed a major essay and coauthored two full-length entries to the exhibition catalog and gave two sold-out lectures during his recent visit to the National Gallery.
Additionally, Stone’s two lectures--one about a late Caravaggio portrait of the Grand Master of the Order of St. John, and the other about the famous Caravaggio painting of a slain John the Baptist--showcased his groundbreaking scholarship on the quixotic artist.
“Caravaggio is the most interesting personality of 17th-Century Italian painting,” Stone said, “and because of the contrast between violence and poetry in his art and the contrast between violence and artistic genius in his life, viewers are incredibly intrigued by him.”
