Episode 8 takes a deep and dirty dive into the life of the painter Caravaggio and his "lost" painting of the Taking of Christ, a painting that rocked the art history world when it reappeared in 1990 after it had been deemed "missing" for hundreds of years. Artichokes, lizards, and prisons, oh my!

Episode 8: Caravaggio's Taking of Christ

Hi! My name is Lindsay and I host Stuff about Things: An Art History Podcast. It is a podcast where I tell you stuff about things. From giant Buddhas to lost paintings, each episode is a deep dive into a particular work of art, artist, or issue within the world of art history. My goal is to make art history accessible, enjoyable, and fun for anyone with a digital device and a desire to learn! My dog, Gus, also plays a key role as the podcast's muse and mascot. Come for the information, stay in spite of my very bad jokes. 

Please note that episodes may contain mild language, the occasional innuendo, and a healthy dose of sass. 

Happy listening!
