 Caravaggio
Caravaggio's luck as a painter took a turn for the better in a series of paintings that brought him to the attention of Cardinal Francesco del Monte, who was a great lover of music and art.
Caravaggio grew up during the early decades of the Counter-Reformation and this was to play an important role in his later paintings.
Shortly thereafter, Caravaggio became apprenticed to the painter Simone Peterzano (1540-1596) of Milan, a student of Titian.

Caravaggio appears to have stayed in the Milan-Caravaggio area after his apprenticeship ended, but it is possible that he visited Venice and saw the works of Giorgione, whom he was later accused of aping, as well as those of his teacher’s master, Titian.

Caravaggio (1571 - 1610) was at the height of his fame as the most original and powerful painter of his day, when in May 1606, he killed a man in a duel.
During the remaining four years of his life, Caravaggio's art underwent a dramatic transformation as he moved restlessly from Naples to Malta to Sicily.
It brought together paintings from the remote centres in which he worked so that his profound late style could be fully appreciated for the first time.

 Biography
Caravaggio may have used a lantern hung to one side in his shuttered studio while painting from his models.
According to his biographers, Caravaggio was "needy and stripped of everything" and moved from one unsatisfactory employment to another, working as an assistant to painters of much smaller talent.
The works of Caravaggio's flight, painted under the most adverse of circumstances, show a subdued tone and a delicacy of emotion that is even more intense than the overt dramatics of his earlier paintings.

Caravaggio has left few personal records by his own hand but the interpretations of his paintings by generations of art historians, combined with recently unearthed archival information, provides a rich history of the man and his time.
Whether they are by Caravaggio alone, or by a team including Caravaggio, has been debated (see Spike, 2003), but the suggestion of a collaboration is not beyond the pale, since the composition is certainly different from the known fruit paintings of Caravaggio and could very well have been painted as a studio commission.
It appears to me that Caravaggio was simply displaying his pride of painterly skill, and his sheer love of the shapes and lushness of his horticultural subject.

 Amazon.com: Caravaggio: A Passionate Life: Books: Desmond Seward
Caravaggio served as artist-in-residence to Cardinal Francesco del Monte, who was rumored in his lifetime to be homosexual, and who sponsored several of Caravaggio's more romantic paintings of young men; his servitu particulare is adequately defended here as a business relationship between a heterosexual painter and his celibate patron.
In focusing on Caravaggio's artistic triumphs rather than his personal idiosyncrasies, Seward portrays the painter as a man of strong faith; according to the author, his art exemplifies the Counter-Reformation's exaltation of both the theatrical and the humble, while his realistic depictions of people and his dramatic, unnatural lighting anticipate later painters' realism.
Caravaggio joined the Catholic order of the Knights of Malta (which Seward depicted in The Monks of War) only to be imprisoned in a Maltese dungeon after a duel with a higher-ranking Knight.

Caravaggio's other patrons were as much fascinated by his realism as they were offended by his refusal to idealize his religious subjects.
The divine, however, can manifest itself erotically for Caravaggio, whose earliest paintings (insofar as his paintings can be dated) depict in the most quotidian scenes male youths whose curls, musculature, and luminescent skin tones made Caravaggio the wonder of his age.
Although no conclusive evidence of Caravaggio's sexuality has survived, derogatory accusations made by contemporaries, coupled with the aggressive representation of male eroticism in his paintings, suggest that the most original painter of early seventeenth-century Europe was actively bisexual, if not primarily homosexual.

 Caravaggio (1986)
This makes 'Caravaggio' more an interpretation of the filmmaker than the artist, rather self-indulgently focusing on Caravaggio's struggle with bisexuality, perfectionism and wanton obsession, glossing over the more intricate workings of the character, for instance, his own passion for art and his battles between religious and creative constraints.
Exploring Caravaggio's life through his work, the film distinctively merges fact, fiction, legend and imagination in a bold and confident approach that will probably leave serious art enthusiasts and casual viewers outraged by the complete disregard for accurate, historical storytelling.
'Caravaggio' is a film where 16th century settings give way to the anachronisms of passing trains, tuxedoes, motorbikes, typewriters and chic nightclub settings.

 Caravaggio Press Kit - Caravaggio and Derek Jarman
In some ways, Jarman& CARAVAGGIO is as much about the artist Derek Jarman as the early seventeenth century painter who was so influential yet so scandalized his contemporaries with both the controversial nature of his art and his resistance to the social mores of his time.
On the evidence of his paintings alone, most modern critics would agree that Caravaggio’s homosexuality, with its accompanying sense of guilt and isolation, was central to his life and art.
The tradition of the time was to paint abstracted and idealized figures and Caravaggio’s dynamic ‘realism’ was considered scandalous.

He was one of the first painters at whom these accusations were leveled and the first whose outlook was summed up by his critics in a slogan: he was condemned as a “naturalist”.
The two painters it is true, were on the best of terms – which was no easy matter in the case of Caravaggio, for he was of a wild and irascible temper, quick to take offence and even to run a dagger through a man. But his work was on different lines from Carracci’s.
He was one of the great artists, like Giotto and Dürer before him, who wanted to see the holy events before his own eyes as if they been happening in his neighbour’s house.

These niggles aside, the book is a fine evocation of the world in which Caravaggio lived and worked - the fights, the plots, the powerbrokers, his loves and his lasting legacy of paintings which surely place him not just as the greatest painter of his age but in the all-time pantheon of master artists.
Born Michelangelo Merisi in 1571, he took the name Caravaggio from the small town outside Milan in which he lived before moving to Rome in 1592, where he rapidly established himself as one of the most acclaimed but also controversial painters of his time.
What really detracted from the book however was his infuriating inconsistency in style, veering from overly informal writing and manic use of apostrophes to unnecessarily pretentious bluster.

Part fiction, part fantasy, and partly based on the known facts about the painter's life, the film follows Caravaggio's childhood on the streets, to his sponsorship by the wealthy Cardinal Del Monte (Michael Gough), to his infatuation with the streetwise gambler, Ranuccio (Sean Bean), whom he hires as one of his models.
When Ranuccio's prostitute girlfriend Lena (Tilda Swinton) announces she is pregnant, there is some question as to the identity of the father, since Caravaggio has also fallen in love with her.

took Jarman over a decade to try his hand at the same approach with Caravaggio, a visually overwhelming examination of the famous painter who redefined the use of light in painting and scandalized the church by portraying sacred figures as dirty, commonplace peasants.
Of course, the painter's life was no less remarkable; a ruffian prone to fighting, gambling, and copulating apparently every waking moment he wasn't holding a paintbrush, Caravaggio could be read in many ways as a prototype for today's modern celebrity.
Told in a fragmented structure as recollections on the painter's deathbed, the story follows Caravaggio from boyhood to adulthood (played through most of the film by Excalibur's Nigel Terry).

Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1573-1610), was an Italian painter known for the powerful realism of his religious figures in the tradition of earlier European art.
Caravaggio's realistic approach influenced such artists as Peter Paul Rubens and Diego Velazquez and helped establish the baroque movement in European art.
In most of his paintings, Caravaggio grouped his figures against a plain, dark background and spotlighted them with an intense, revealing light.
