Yet for many, Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio is famed as much for his criminal record as for his art. Was it the violence of his times or his own violent spirit that inspired the dramatic lighting and intense naturalism of his work? This lecture follows the dramatic incidents of the artist’s life and looks at why and how his influence spread so far. Non-members are welcome to attend at a cost of £8 per lecture. Students are admitted for a nominal charge of £3.
