Curator Talk: The Journey of Caravaggio’s ‘Taking of Christ’
Description
An incredible free Curator Talk not to be missed!
Learn about the interesting background of Caravaggio's ‘The Taking of Christ’ in this free talk.
Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571-1610) is one of the most outstanding artists in the history of painting. He derives his name from the village of Caravaggio, near Milan, in northern Italy, where he spent his childhood. Around 1592, he arrived in Rome, at that time the artistic centre of the world. Caravaggio’s work was strikingly original, using dramatic effects of light to create paintings of profound visual and emotional impact. His models were often people he encountered in the streets of Rome, and he painted them with a directness and naturalism that made them appear to embody the true-life experiences of ordinary people.
