Discover the art and life of Caravaggio, a painter who left an indelible mark on Rome. This fascinating walking tour takes you to see Caravaggio's most characteristic masterpieces, and weaves a fascinating story with a tragic end.
A promising youth born into wealth and opportunity, Caravaggio was an artistic genius tortured by the demons of his past and present.

His artworks were largely forgotten after his death, only to be rediscovered and newly appreciated in recent history.
The experience of studying a painting by Caravaggio can often be overwhelming, as he had a talent for depicting his subjects in the moment of most intense and realistic drama.

The artist broke new frontiers in the Baroque style, and "Put the 'oscuro' in chiaroscuro" (the dramatic lighting technique used by Baroque artists). He also inspired countless young artists of his time and afterwards, leaving behind a whole school of "Carravagisti" to carry on his legacy.
