Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (Italian: Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, September 29, 1571 – July 18, 1610), Italian painter, active in Rome, Naples from 1593 to 1610 , Genoa, Malta and Sicily. He is often considered to belong to the Baroque School and has an important influence on the formation of the Baroque School. Caravaggio’s life is intoxicating, dangerous and full of mystery. In 1600, he suddenly appeared in the art scene of Rome, and since then there has been no shortage of commissions and funding, although he has managed his own success very badly. About his earliest commentary, seen in 1604, this material describes his lifestyle about three years ago, saying that 'he can work for two or two months across the sword for a two-week job, and a servant follows, from one The stadium is going to another, always ready to fight and fight, so it is very embarrassing with him. In 1606, Caravaggio killed a young man in the battle, and people rewarded his head, so he fled Rome. In 1608, he was involved in another battle in Malta. In 1609, in Naples, there was still a fight. This time it may be that the unidentified opponents want to take his life. By the next year, after more than a decade of painter career, Caravaggio left the world. In the decades from the end of the 16th century to the beginning of the 17th century, Rome had been building huge churches and magnificent palaces, which required a large number of paintings. At that time, the anti-religious reform church was searching for orthodox religious art to counter the threat of Protestantism, because the styleism that ruled the art world for nearly a century was not enough to shoulder this heavy responsibility. Caravaggio brings a radical naturalism that combines near-physically accurate observations and vivid and even dramatic contrasts. In Caravaggio, this new style is a tool to achieve authenticity and spirituality.
