Caravaggio in Rome




Depending on which experts you believe, there are somewhere between 20 and 30 paintings by Caravaggio still in Rome – where most were originally created between about 1590 and 1610.

Today – with the Rome trip drawing close – I was mapping out Caravaggios in four Roman churches and six museums, plus a palace or two. These are a few of the most exciting potentialities.
