Caravaggio

Among the geniuses of Caravaggio, holds apart. So you see this gloomy man with an untidy beard, in an old cloak, in a wide -brimmed hat pushed on the forehead - so that no eyes are met with anyone. In the 1600s, he could be found in Rome in the Kampo Mario area-one, with a servant or in the company of friends, barber and merchants. Caravaggio loved scandals and did not miss the opportunity to get into a fight. At the same time, he was already a famous artist who painted unprecedented paintings. With all its destructive mania - mania of greatness, persecution, uncontrolled aggression, unbridled sexuality - Caravaggio - an ideal hero for a high -budget Hollywood production. In combination with a truly impressive painting, this makes Caravaggio a star for all times.
