Caravaggio

The Death of the Virgin

US$ 690.00

The Virgin lies with her feet bare and her body swollen, mourned by apostles who look like labourers, under a great swag of red cloth that hangs like theatre curtain. The church that commissioned it refused delivery — the model was rumoured to be a drowned prostitute. Rubens saw it, recognised what it was, and persuaded the Duke of Mantua to buy it instead.

Artist:

Caravaggio (1571-1610) changed European painting by lighting sacred subjects like a street scene and using ordinary people as models for saints. His violent life matched his art: he killed a man in Rome and died at thirty-eight while seeking a papal pardon. Rubens, Rembrandt and Velazquez all worked in his shadow.
