Caravaggio is an Old Master for a modern age. His recent resurgence in popularity owes in no small part to his dramatic compositions, which expose the conflict between salvation and damnation in the souls of each of his subjects, whether biblical saints or streetwise criminals. The unprecedented selections featured in this catalogue, and at the eponymous exhibition in Rome, offer insight not only into Caravaggio’s evolution as an artist but also his immediate networks and surroundings, distinguishing itself through its exceptional loans that reunite and re-situate the landmark paintings of Caravaggio’s career.
