CARAVAGGIO THE POWER OF LIGHT

Caravaggio the power of Light

In Naples Caravaggio lived only one year from the 1606-1607.
Caravaggio was the revolutionary genius of the 17° century.
His work influenced still the entire artistic world. The incredible use of the light, the introducing of «normal» persons in the architecture of his paintings.

The scourging, in the Collection of the Capodimonte Museum

The seven Acts of Mercy, in the Church of the Pio Monte della Misericordia
