Martyrdom of St. Matthew

About This Item

Michelangelo Merisi da CARAVAGGIO (1573 - 1610): Caravaggio's powerful light cuts a wedge into the darkness of the scene. The more controlled & orderly composition of The Calling of St. Matthew-which is directly opposite-is startlingly contrasted by the violence & fear in The Martyrdom.
