| Biggest Artistic Inspiration |
Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571-1610) was a pupil of Simone Peterzano before he left Milan for Rome at about the age of 20. There, he worked for Giuseppe Cesari (1568-1640), a powerful, sought-after artist who later turned against him, and was befriended by the cultivated but iouche Cardinal Francesco Maria del Monte. He and his dissolute circle influenced Caravaggio as his view of the world and art matured. In his early 20s, he painted a succession of masterpieces for the cardinal - The Fortune Teller, The Music Party, The Card Players, The Lute Player, St Catherine, Medusa, and The Basket of Fruit- which had a tremendous influence on European Baroque art. |
