Caravaggio Biography

Italian Baroque painter
born 1571 - died 1610

Also known as: Caravage, Michelangelo Merisi, Michael Angelo da Caravaggio, Michelangelo .....

MICHELANGELO CARAVAGGIO, AMERIGHI (or MERIGI) DA (1569-1609), Italian painter, was born in the village of Caravaggio, in Lombardy, from which he received his name. Caravaggio artist was originally a mason's laborer, but his powerful genius directed him to painting, at which the painter worked with immitigable energy and amazing force. Michelangelo Caravaggio despised every sort of idealism whether noble or emasculate, became the head of the Naturalisti (unmodified imitators of ordinary nature) in Italian painting, and adopted a style of potent contrasts of light and shadow, laid on with a sort of fury, indicative of that fierce temper which led the artist to commit a homicide in a gambling quarrel at Rome.

To avoid the consequences of his crime artist Caravaggio fled to Naples and to Malta, where he was imprisoned for another attempt to avenge a quarrel. Escaping to Sicily, he was attacked by a party sent in pursuit of him, and severely wounded. Being pardoned, Caravaggio the artist set out for Italian Rome; but having been arrested by mistake before his arrival, and afterwards released, and left to shift for himself in excessive heat and suffering from wounds and hardships he died of fever on the beach at Pontercole in 1609. Best Caravaggio paintings are the Entombment of Christ, now in the Vatican; St Sebastian, in the Roman Capitol; a magnificent wholelength portrait of a grand-master of the Knights of Malta, Alof de Vignacourt, and his page, in the Louvre; and the Borghese Supper at Emmaus, as well as Bacchus by Caravaggio, and Caravaggio Narcissus.
