The life and highlights of Caravaggio's paintings

Michelangelo Merisi Caravaggio, who lived from 1571 to 1610, is one of the most famous Baroque painters. In his paintings, he renounced the beauty of the human body, idealized by Renaissance painters. Caravaggio's most famous paintings are "The Conversion of Paul", "Judith beheading Holofernes", "Supper at Emmaus", "The Kiss of Judas" and "Boy with a Basket of Fruit". In order to show realism, Caravaggio introduced sharp chiaroscuro to his works. Thanks to this, his painting gained an unusual style, and his paintings were imitated by subsequent generations of artists called Caravaggionists. He was the founder of Roman Baroque painting, which was characterized by religious and mythological paintings. In the works of Caravaggio we find a combination of the sacred and the profane, which is accentuated with the use of chiaroscuro. Biblical themes, still lifes and genre scenes are among the most common themes in his work.
