Michelangelo Meriso Caravaggio, Head of Medusa, c. 1597 This parade shield was given to Grand Duke Ferdinando I by Cardinal Francesco Maria del Monte, a Medici agent at the papal court in Rome, in 1598. It was intended for the new armoury, where it was part of
the knightly accoutrements of a dummy on horseback wearing Persian armour. The subject, based on the Classical myths on which
Caravaggio had trained in his youth, is reinterpreted here in a naturalistic vein, the eyes open wide in horror, the mouth frozen in a cry of revul-sion, the writhing tangle of serpents (paralleled in the scientific plates commissioned by the Medici from Jacopo Ligozzi seemingly at odds with the drastically severed neck.
Restored in 2002 with funding from the Gruppo Maggiore

Hoy 29 de septiembre pero de 1571 nacería Michelangelo Merisi conocido como Caravaggio, un pintor decididamente inusual para su época. Su alma, inquieto y rebelde, influyó en el arte del siglo XVII, convirtiéndolo en un auténtico innovador, precursor del barroco.

16th-century velvet and plumes to bring a sacred biblical story directly into modern reality. Finally, Christ’s outstretched hand serves as a deliberate homage to Michelangelo’s The Creation of Adam on the Sistine Chapel ceiling, beautifully symbolising spiritual rebirth. #Caravaggio

Powerful depiction of the Martyrdom of Saint Peter by Caravaggio — an early 17th-century Baroque masterpiece in Rome’s Cerasi Chapel (Santa Maria del Popolo). Renowned for dramatic chiaroscuro, raw realism, and the upside-down crucifixion. buff.ly/51AQzV6 #Caravaggio

Io ho già regalato una copia di questo fantastico romanzo di @danielebolelli.bsky.social a mio padre, che se lo sta godendo come fosse una serie su Netflix. Seguite l'esempio!
