Caravaggio is one of the most influential painters in history; he is also one of its most dramatic personalities. His art is as striking as his life story. Girish Shahane will speak about the main themes in Caravaggio’s paintings; his innovative style including the use of chiaroscuro; the relationship of his work to his homosexuality and the impact of his art which continues to be felt even today.
