The Dark Mind of Caravaggio： Genius, Murder, and Masterpieces

In the streets of Rome in 1606, a duel left a man dead—and the greatest painter of his generation became a fugitive.
This documentary explores the dark and fascinating life of Caravaggio, the revolutionary artist who transformed painting with dramatic realism and powerful contrasts of light and shadow.
Caravaggio rejected idealized beauty and painted saints using ordinary people from the streets—workers, criminals, and prostitutes. The result shocked the art world and gave birth to a new style that would shape Baroque art for generations.
