Caravaggio
« on: April 11, 2009, 20:45 »
Well guys I just had to say... I was like a pig in muck watching a fantastic program on BBC2 tonight called 'Private Life of Easter Masterpiece'  it was dedicated to my very favourite painter 'Caravaggio' his particular style of using light to illuminate the centre of the picture topic is truly amazing. I have a huge print of this style of art called 'The Experiment' by Wright of Derby hanging on my lounge wall  it is a very emotive subject piece and one you can google if you so desire to understand the topic. The original is hanging in the National Gallery, London if anyone is ever in the area and would like to view it.

Just wondered if any of you are also intrested in this style?    :)

I envy people who can appreciate art.  Generally speaking, it eludes me.

I do enjoy John Myatt's programmes on Sky Arts 1, though.
