| Michelangelo Caravaggio. Amor Victorious. | | Elibron Classics, 2000 |
| Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1573-1610), list of works | | | One afternoon in 1606, the painter Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio played a tennis match with Ranuccio Tomassoni, after which an argument over the score turned ugly. A sword fight ensued, and Tomassoni was killed. Badly wounded, Caravaggio fled Rome, got a pardon, and returned to paint. This sort of rashness and fiery temper was characteristic of Caravaggio, both in his life of intrigue and violence, and in his work, which boldly discarded both Classicism and Mannerism to set up its own structures and iconographies. |
