Caravaggio Virtual Tour – Italy’s Baroque Genius
Details
REGISTRATION REQUIRED! Click here to register
Embark on a captivating virtual tour dedicated to the intense and dramatic world of Michelangelo Merisi, better known as Caravaggio, one of the most revolutionary and influential painters of the Baroque era.
This virtual experience invites you to discover Caravaggio’s life and masterpieces, following his artistic journey through some of his most famous and powerful works. We’ll look closely at what makes his paintings so striking: strong contrasts of light and shadow, realistic figures, and scenes filled with emotion and tension. His art feels direct and human, as if the story is unfolding right in front of us.
Along the way, we’ll also explore Caravaggio’s turbulent and restless life — a life marked by sudden success, violent episodes, escapes, and scandal. These personal struggles deeply influenced his art and help explain the intensity and drama that make his paintings so unforgettable. Understanding the man behind the art allows us to better appreciate his bold choices and unique vision.
Step into the atmosphere of the early 17th century and get closer to the mind of one of art history’s most provocative geniuses, a true “bad boy” of the Baroque whose works still shock, move, and inspire today.
Join us for this immersive virtual tour and experience the power of Caravaggio — all from the comfort of your home.
