Best Artworks by Caravaggio
Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio was a creative Baroque artist simply known as Caravaggio. His paintings were characterized by a strong contrast between light and shadow. The artist studied art under Simone Peterzano, a well-known painter at that time in Milan. Caravaggio invented tenebrism, a renowned style in Baroque painting. This approach is distinguished by its use of mostly black tones and shadows combined with spectacular light contrast effects. Caravaggio is often referred to as the “Father of Painting.” His influence may be seen both directly and indirectly in the work of Rubens, Jusepe de Ribera, Bernini, and Rembrandt.
