Join artist and art historian Sarah Jones for another series of entertaining and informative art history talks this spring.
Caravaggio
Learn about one the Italian Baroque’s most (in)famous painters – the swashbuckling, sword-wielding and yes, murderous! Caravaggio. Learn how and why he changed the course of Western painting, galvanized a legion of followers and still after four hundred years makes for a blockbuster art exhibition. This session looks at Caravaggio’s early work in Rome and his later work, post-exile, in Naples, exploring his radical use of naturalism, chiaroscuro, and theatricality.
No prior knowledge on Caravaggio and/or sword dueling required.
