Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571-1610), the brilliant, renegade Baroque painter and namesake of his ancestral city in Italy’s Lombard region, is remembered for the unvarnished naturalism and stark immediacy of his works, which shattered the idealized norms of late Renaissance painting, and for the tumultuous, star-crossed course of his career. His art, recently celebrated in landmark exhibitions that brought together almost all of his surviving works, also invites contemplation in intimate, vest-pocket shows that allow more intimate contact with the painter’s stunning pictorial intelligence.
