Marina Kanavaki 
Caravaggio was quite a character—some would say a scoundrel. A few years ago we watched a documentary about him.
Well, hard to know really. Hard enough knowing ourselves, let alone someone soooooo many years ago. His painting genius is more than enough for me! 😉
We’ve managed to see several of his paintings in museums, including this one at the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth, 200 miles north of Austin:

You are really fortunate!!!!! 😉
A wonderful tribute to Caravaggio, Marina. I have always appreciated the story behind this painting.
He was an extraordinary painter. So glad you enjoyed this short reminder of his birthday. Many hugs your way!
👌👌👌🖼️🌹
🙏🙏🙏😊🙏
Caravaggio is wonderful.
The more I see his paintings the harder it gets to fathom the extend of his talent!
