CARAVAGGIO ....TL...........................
..... 1571-1610 Purposefully tried to shock and
offend. Made Saints Seem Ordinary, and Miracles
seem Every-Day. His The Conversion of Saint
Paul contained St. Paul flat on his back, fallen
from his horse while other paintings had throngs
of angels. Il Tenebroso (Dark Manner) His Works
used dramatic lighting, and Dark Contrasts. He
Believed with The Counter Reformations views that
faith was open to all. Very Volatile Person

I Picked Caravaggio Because addaaddaaddadaadda He
was a rebel, He believed in Counter Reformation
and portrayed miracles as ordinary. Put a twist
on plain religious art. Painted things in a dark
manner.
I Picked Vermeer Because
adddaaddaaddaadda I Think that it requires great
talent to work with light The Way he did. He
Found the extraordinary in ordinary pieces, and
modern commonplace. Used Bright colors instead of
the Italians dark settings.
