Painter. After an early career painting portraits, still lifes, and genre scenes, Caravaggio turned to religious subjects, espousing a bold style that emphasized the contrast between light and shade. Rejecting the formality of his Mannerist predecessors, he painted common people rather than idealized beauties. Caravaggio repeatedly ran into trouble with the law, culminating in a murder he committed in 1600. His paintings, which influenced later European artists such as Rubens and Velzquez, include The Lute- Player (ca. 1595-97) and The Calling of St. Matthew (1599-1602).

Stone, associate professor of art history at UD, recently shared his expertise on Caravaggio by lecturing at a symposium held for scholars of the Italian Baroque painter and inadvertently found himself at the center of an artistic controversy during the opening in Malta of two exhibitions on the 17th-century master. Invited by the Saint John's Co-Cathedral Foundation to attend the opening of Caravaggio and Paintings of Realism in Malta, Malta Today quoted him and fellow Caravaggio scholar Keith Sciberras. Caravaggio and the Divine Image Claiming in widespread promotional materials to contain 17 works by Caravaggio, the exhibition that Stone questioned in fact contained just two actual works by the master. The discrepancy caused so much art world fallout that scholars and critics are still weighing in. Caravaggio and Paintings of Realism in Malta The Beheading of John the Baptist Stone, who is on sabbatical until the spring semester, said that the experience of spending so much time at the exhibition in the midst of such culture has been intellectually rewarding, and added that much of what he's gained from his stay will end up in a graduate seminar he'll teach at UD this spring.

CARAVAGGIO (b. 1571, Caravaggio, d. 1610, Porto Ercole) Biography Caravaggio, byname of Michelangelo Merisi, Italian painter whose revolutionary technique of tenebrism, or dramatic, selective illumination of form out of deep shadow, became a hallmark of Baroque painting. Scorning the traditional idealized interpretation of religious subjects, he took his models from the streets and painted them realistically. His three paintings of St Matthew (c. 1597-1602) caused a sensation and were followed by such masterpieces as The Supper at Emmaus (1601-02) and Death of the Virgin Early life Caravaggio was the son of Fermo Merisi, steward and architect of the Marquis of Caravaggio. Orphaned at age 11, Caravaggio was apprenticed in the same year to the painter Simone Peterzano of Milan. At some time between 1588 and 1592, Caravaggio went to Rome. He was already in possession of the fundamental technical skills of painting and had acquired, with characteristic eagerness, a thorough understanding of the approach of the Lombard and Venetian painters, who, opposed to idealized Florentine painting, had developed a style that was nearer to representing nature and events. Caravaggio arrived in Rome and settled into the cosmopolitan society of the Campo Marzio. This decaying neighbourhood of inns, eating houses, temporary shelter, and little picture shops in which Caravaggio came to live suited his circumstances and his temperament. He was virtually without means, and his inclinations were always toward anarchy and against tradition.
