His work was shocking in that there were holes in people's clothes, worm holes in apples, and worshippers with dirty feet. Not the traditional way of portraying these subjects.
1604-6, Madonna di Loreto
1606, St Francis in Meditation

You’re good. Got to give you that. Most realistic serpents I’ve ever seen on a Medusa. Sort of a nightmare character with the most incredible teeth. Yep. Hillary works.

Mardie, have you seen Simon Schama’s Power of Art, originally a BBC miniseries I think? I got it from the library.
Caravaggio and Bernini are 2 of the 8 artists covered. A very dark series, IMO but I guess he had to inject a lot of drama to make it interesting.

I was doing some art research years ago one day and ran across that pic and said it looked just like Hilliary!.........

No, I haven’t. I’ll put a note in my file about it. Thank you.
Cellini was another one with a dramatic story. Along with the book of academic nudes mother gave me when I was less than 10 years old, she gave me Cellini’s Autobiography. Later, as an Art History student, I loved the discussion in the book of country vs city eggs for egg tempera. But he, like Caravaggio, was on the lam for murder.

So very glad you liked it. Took a LOT of careful editing to minimize the blood and gore. His only signature on a painting was in the blood of a cut off head.

The only one I’ve seen who holds a baby as if it has weight. I love the range of faces in his art. Reminds me of British TV, which specializes in character faces. And you’re most welcome.

Amazing talent. Aside from all the other details, just to be able to paint those realistic fluffy beards and facial wrinkles is incredible.
