The city of Rome is now opening it’s second exhibition dedicated to Caravaggio. After the success of the exhibition “Caravaggio-Bacon” which ended this January, they are now opening the doors doors to a retrospective exhibition throughout his career and life, at the Scuderie Quirinale in central city.
Scrupulous and careful attention as never before , both philological and chronological: there are only certain works. Don’t miss the occasion to admire the most of short and amazing artistic life of a true genius, damned but able to “give light to darkness”, in fact like few others important in the history of art.
