Caravaggio

While at Artlink the Annual Members show is taking place until August 10th, Europe is celebrating the 400 years from the death of Caravaggio.
He was hailed by many as the father of modern painting and I just read an article on the Italian Rolling Stone Magazine about how he could be easily be compared to a modern rockstar. A troubled and short life lived always to the max. An extreme popularity co-existed with a violent personality and he was equally loved and hated. If you feel like reading more about him you won't be disappointed.

UP next at Artlink: Landscapes:Urban and rural exhibition (Aug 20th to Sept 29th)
