Caravaggio was an Italian painter active in
Rome, Naples, Malta, and Sicily from the early 1590s to 1610.
His paintings
combine a realistic observation of the human state, both physical and
emotional, with a dramatic use of lighting. Caravaggio employed close physical
observation with a dramatic use of chiaroscuro that came to be known as
tenebrism. He made the technique a dominant stylistic element, darkening
shadows and transfixing subjects in bright shafts of light.
Caravaggio vividly
expressed crucial moments and scenes, often featuring violent struggles,
torture and death. He worked rapidly, with live models, preferring to forgo
drawings and work directly onto the canvas.
His influence on the new Baroque style that
emerged from Mannerism was profound. It can be seen directly or indirectly in
the work of Peter Paul Rubens, Jusepe de Ribera, Gian Lorenzo Bernini, and
Rembrandt, and artists in the following generation heavily under his influence
were called the "Caravaggisti" or "Caravagesques.”
