Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we delve into the captivating world of Caravaggio, a cult figure whose personality, sexuality, and criminal record often overshadow his artistic achievements. In our celebrity-obsessed, tabloid culture, Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio’s life story challenges the boundaries between artist and art. Exploring works like David with the Head of Goliath and Sick Bacchus, we reveal how his self-portraits blend autobiography with raw emotion. Discover how this rebellious genius redefined storytelling, leaving an indelible mark on art and culture.
