Caravage

1571-09-29 (Milan) / 1610-07-18 (Porto Ercole)

Anticipating the cinema of a Pasolini, Michelangelo Merisi, the kid from Caravaggio, regulates his scenes of violent life with the help of powerful projectors, which set up the light as an arbiter of disorder and transform the abjection of reality into God's mercy. Reducing the action and the number of his figures, exposing them in real size at mid-body, the artist of all dangers works in a hasty manner, without any preparatory drawing, in a studio stretched out in black, just lit by the weak ray of light from a window well. By exalting the physical, Caravaggio reaches the metaphysical in all its mystical crudity.
