Caravaggio

Recently I saw the movie about the excellent artist. It gave me food for thought.

Michelangelo Merisi was a genius that who dared to defy the ideal vision of the world by the Renaissance painters' idealized vision of the world. He was the reformer of the revolutionized European painting of in the 17th century. Merisi chose essentially created a new way school of in art. I think the motion picture reveals to the viewer of the features of art as a cultural medium that he appeared created. Caravaggio got an education in the north of Italy. Then he moved to Rome. There he felt like an outsider. He was drawing drew pictures on religious subjects topics. But as his models there were dissolute street boys and prostitutes, society didn't accept it his work. In any event, his influence on the new Baroque style that emerged from the ruins of Mannerism was profound.

I really like it this film. I think, it is one of the best films ever.
