Chiaroscuro & Caravaggio


Caravaggio.com is a great resource for looking at this Italian masters painting. There is a great deal of information and it even arranges his artworks by dimension, location, subject, details and exhibitions.

Review the website and create a small study (small sketch) of one Caravaggio painting that stands out to you. Tell me why you chose this piece and include a small description of the painting; identifying the elements of art and principles of design. Make sure to read the footnotes on each piece, include any interesting facts you have found and your own reactions/ interpretations.
