Caravaggio. Scuderie del Quirinale, through 13 June 2010
Rome continues marking the 400th anniversary of the painter Caravaggio's death. His status in the art world is usually described by phrases like „one of the greatest painters of all times", „one of the most revolutionary painters", „the first significant representative of Baroque art", etc. Caravaggio's art is dominated by dark tonality which provides a contract to separate brightly lit details that play a particularly significant role in the painting's composition.
The Caravaggio show currently on view in Rome is particularly significant for the fact that only works with a hundred percent guarantee of belonging to the great master's brush have been put on show - it is, of course, a well known fact that the Caravaggisti movement, inspired by admiration for his work, had at one time completely consumed the Italian art scene.
The exhibition held at Scuderie del Quirinale includes two of the artist's greatest masterpieces: Bacchus, borrowed from the Florence Uffizi gallery, and David with the Head of Goliath from the Borghese Gallery in Rome.
