Caravaggio Adoration of the Shepherds (detail)

For anyone who thinks of Caravaggio as being a violent thug this is evidence to the contrary.

Anyone who can paint such tenderness has some touch of goodness in them.

One of the things I like most about Caravaggio is the sense of an unfolding emotional journey you get with his art. Early Caravaggios are sarky, confident, brazen. Late Caravaggio’s are dark, exhausted, tearful. A life put through the wringer.
