MICHELANGELO MERISI FROM MILAN TO ROME

Special Series TUTTO CARAVAGGIO 5  VIRTUAL EXPERIENCES ABOUT CARAVAGGIO

Caravaggio’s origins are shrouded in some mystery as very little information is available regarding is early years, and his presumed travels before arriving in Rome at the age of 20. We will be looking in closer detail at the art and cultural scene of Milan at the end of the XVI century, and what elements may have influenced the young artist. We will follow his masters and his early steps as he arrived in Rome, discerning how complex and yet somehow stagnant was Rome’s art scene at the turn of the century. Caravaggio lived an erratic life and his beginnings in Rome must have been very difficult as he was not part of a workshop and managed to get some odd jobs painting still lives and heads, this until thins changed.
