About the artist in Michelangelo Caravaggio canvas prints
Upon arriving in Rome, Caravaggio was completely destitute, homeless, and penniless. He wandered the streets for days before a man named Pandolfo Pucci took pity on him and took him into his home. But within a few months, he had found a job painting flowers and fruit for the Pope’s most favored artist, Giuseppe Cesari. It was by a simple stroke of luck that, during this period, the Catholic Church was looking for an artistic style that would counter that of the Protestants. Photowall honors this wonderful artistic period by offering you “Supper at Emmaus-Michelangelo Caravaggio”, in its line of Michelangelo Caravaggio canvas prints. This painting reveals the dinner where Jesus Christ, after His crucifixion and death, finally revealed His true self to two of his apostles who had been traveling with him all day, blissfully unaware of who their companion was. This particular masterpiece in Michelangelo Caravaggio canvas prints would not only be a priceless gem to behold in your home, but it would also serve as a reminder of how Christ conquered death to ransom us from our sins.
The style in Michelangelo Caravaggio canvas prints
Caravaggio employed a naturalist style to his work that was both dramatic and theatrical at the same time. Artists would later term this style of transitioning from light to dark as Tenebrism. His attention to detail was such that, even in his paintings of fruits and flowers, learned horticulturists would, under intense scrutiny, be able to identify such details as fungal lesions and other plant-based diseases in his images. This meticulous attention to detail shows itself in “Rest on the Flight into Egypt-Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio”, one of the offerings in Michelangelo Caravaggio canvas prints. The manner in which he manipulated the characteristics of light and shadow in his works was called chiaroscuro by the Italians. This is one of the reasons why Photowall was inspired to feature this pioneering artist in its collection of Michelangelo Caravaggio canvas prints. A few select pieces of these Michelangelo Caravaggio canvas prints in your den or private study would transform your space into a virtual museum, where the distinguished and erudite among your compatriots would gather and take tea while admiring the impressive artwork adorning the walls. You would be the envy of all your peers.
A masterpiece of your own
After leaving Cesari because of a disagreement, Caravaggio made friends with several significant and very influential figures in the art world. With the progression of his career as an artist came notoriety and a devil-may-care attitude that would land Caravaggio in jail several times, and involve him in brawls and unruly squabbles. But despite his outrageous lifestyle, the year 1600 would prove to be the year that his fortunes were made. Two of his paintings became instants favorites of both critics and connoisseurs alike, and The Holy Catholic Church granted him nearly endless commissions after that. Michelangelo Caravaggio canvas prints honors, not only the magnificent artist but the imperfect and flawed human being that shared both his gifts and his vulnerabilities with the world around him. Within a few years, this man of simple means had been hailed as the most famous painter in Rome.
