A newly-discovered Caravaggio?

I saw some beautiful Caravaggios in Italy a few years ago. The two at the Doria Pamphilij Gallery in Rome were particularly appealing to me. I'd love to see more.


Rome is abuzz with news about Caravaggio in the past weeks! The Baroque bad boy — who died 400 years ago this month — has been in the spotlight for months as the Eterna marks the anniversary of his demise and capitalizes on an ever-growing fascination with the artist. From February to June, fans flocked to the Scuderie al Quirinale to admire an exhibition of Caravaggio paintings brought from museums around the world; in June a team of scientists announced the discovery of a body that may be that of the artist; and just last weekend, the Borghese Gallery and three Roman churches stayed open all night to let Caravaggio fans admire his works on the 400th anniversary of the Italian Baroque artist’s death.
