Caravaggio

Italian, 1571–1610

Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571–1610), connu sous le nom de Caravaggio, était un peintre italien actif principalement à Rome. Il s'est formé à Milan avant de déménager à Rome dans la vingtaine, où il est devenu connu pour son utilisation dramatique de la lumière et de l'ombre, une technique appelée ténèbrisme, et pour représenter un intense réalisme émotionnel et physique. La vie de Caravaggio a été marquée par la violence, y compris une bagarre fatale qui l'a contraint à fuir Rome, après quoi il a travaillé à Naples, Malte et en Sicile. Son style a eu un impact majeur sur la peinture baroque, influençant de nombreux artistes, et son œuvre a été réévaluée plus tard au XXe siècle comme fondation de la peinture moderne.
