Description
Travel to Caravaggio's Rome and follow in the footsteps of the most scandalous painter of the Baroque era, amidst taverns, passions, crimes, and six masterpieces!
Discover the fascinating story of the genius who revolutionized painting with his extraordinary use of light and shadow, while leading a life as passionate as it was turbulent, surrounded by artists, courtesans, patrons, and constant conflicts with the law.
On this tour, we will walk through the streets where he lived and worked. We will meet his friends, protectors, and models, uncover the secrets of his daily life, and visit the scenes of the confrontations that marked his destiny, up to the crime that made him a fugitive.
But the most extraordinary part will be contemplating six original paintings by Caravaggio, preserved in three historic churches in Rome: Santa Maria del Popolo, Sant'Agostino, and San Luigi dei Francesi.
In front of his works, we will discover how he transformed religious painting, why he used common people as models, and how he managed to bring light, gestures, and emotions to life on the canvas.
A journey between art and crime, genius and rebellion, to discover the man behind one of the most fascinating painters in history.
