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

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.

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

I LOVE Carravagio. He was somewhat of a knave, I understand.
