There’s certain artists whose works immediately strike me, and I develop an infatuation with their paintings. Caravaggio is one of those artists. A Baroque painter from 16th-century Italy, his most notable works are primarily Biblical in theme (three being from the Old Testament). If you have even a passing interest in art, I’d wager to say you’ve seen some of his paintings.
