CARAVAGGIO | OFFICIAL TRAILER | EXHIBITION ON SCREEN

 

Five years in the making, this is the most extensive film ever made about this revolutionary 16th-century Italian painter, best known for his dramatic use of light and shadow through his heightened chiaroscuro technique. Caravaggio's masterpieces, from Medusa to Judith Beheading Holofernes, are some of art's most instantly recognisable. 

But what do these masterpieces reveal about the man behind the brush? The intriguing self-depictions within his works—sometimes disguised, sometimes in plain sight—offer a rare window into his psyche and personal struggles. With first-hand testimony from the artist himself on the eve of his mysterious disappearance, this film reveals Caravaggio as never before. Featuring masterpiece after masterpiece and interviews with experts from around the world, Caravaggio immerses audiences in the hidden narratives of the artist's life, piecing together clues embedded within his incredible art.
