Caravaggio
8pm-9pm. 450 years ago, an artist was born who would bring about one of the most radical changes in pictorial style, particularly through his pronounced use of contrasting light and shadow or chiaroscuro. He was the most famous painter of his time in Italy, as well as a source of inspiration for hundreds of other artists. Known as Caravaggio, his given name was Michelangelo Merisi. Although he had the name of an angel he was anything but, being a notorious brawler and spending his last years on the run from a murder charge.
