Not Art Historians

The Caravaggio Capers

Listen Later

Join Zak and Lianne as they dive into the tumultuous life of Baroque painter Caravaggio, once the most famous painter in Rome. We’ll explore a duel between jealous lovers (maybe?), his imprisonment, and a smear campaign that Caravaggio launched against one of his enemies. We’ll also cover his masterpieces like “Medusa” and “David with the Head of Goliath”.
