Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571-1610) is the reformist of European art of the 17th century, founder of realism and one of the bright representatives of Baroque.

 

Characterized by their dramatic, almost theatrical lighting, his paintings were controversial, popular, and hugely influential on succeeding painters all over Europe. He masterfully used contrast of light and darkness in his paintings.
