Although this painting is not quite finished!! but i wanted to post it on my birthday which is today! As a gratitude to the level I got to as a self-taught artist.
This painting is inspired by Caravaggio's techniques from the smooth light to the strong shadows, as the darkening
Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio #diedonthisday in 1610 at the age of 39. Here are some of his final paintings, The Denial of St Peter @metmuseum , David with the head of Goliath @GallBorghese & The Martyrdom of St Ursula @gallerieditalia, all done in the last year of his life.
Caravaggio went on the run after stabbing a man to death, and died without realising that the pope would reprieve him. He was one of the greats of Italian art. Here he paints himself as Goliath (1610) near the end of his life. His honest & power is astonishing
Light & dark mark out Caravaggio’s work as well as the inclusion of ordinary people playing saintly roles. The latter led to criticism. Here is his Conversion of St Paul (1601) & Incredulity of St Thomas (1601)
Caravaggio // Artemisia Gentileschi

Artemisia was born in Rome & her father was the great painter Orazio. He originally hailed from Tuscany & was a disciple of Caravaggio’s. Artemisia would also have the same style, having been taught by her father. Madonna (1609)
Manierist painter Giuseppe Cesari called Cavalier d'Arpino died in Rome #OnThisDay 1640. Young Caravaggio trained in his studio as a painter of flowers and fruit (1593–94).

He also saw & was inspired by Caravaggio’s art. In 1603 he was chosen to take part in a diplomatic mission to Spain. There he studied the superb art collection. Abduction (1611-12), Descent from the Cross (1612-14) & Venus, Cupid, Bacchus & Ceres (1612-13)
