Baroque: Caravaggio |
Caravaggio, a 16th-17th century Italian artist, pioneered Baroque painting with his dramatic use of light and shadow. His realistic illustrations often featured everyday people as religious figures, challenging traditional norms. Renowned for his intense, emotionally charged scenes, Caravaggio's works, like "The Calling of Saint Matthew", "Medusa", and many more, displayed a unique blend of real life and theatre. |
