Italian artist of the late 16th - early 17th century. Caravaggio is rightfully considered the initiator of "realism of the New Age" in Italian painting. Whatever picture this outstanding master painted - be it an episode from the Gospel or a domestic scene from a modern artist of life - the viewer feels the extraordinary liveliness of action, a kind of "effect of presence." The album also includes frescoes from the churches of Naples, Rome, Palermo and other cities belonging to the brush of Caravaggio.
