Martha & Mary Magdalene c. 1598 |
Once I begin to reproduce paintings by Caravaggio in this space, as yesterday, it is not likely that I will be able to stop with only one day's worth. The body of this artist's surviving work is not large, yet when I start digging for the newest available images, there are always a couple (like the first two in this post) that strike me with complete freshness, and make a high claim to their own importance, as if the paintings truly were new to the world.

David with the Head of Goliath c. 1600 |
