The Baroque master Caravaggio, famous for his masterful use of chiaroscuro, produced during his short and tragic life a body of works that would have a lasting impact on the history of Western art. Combining realistic observation of the human state with dramatic use of lighting, Caravaggio's paintings are regarded as among the most technically accomplished and highly prized artworks of the seventeenth century.
