Michelangelo Merisi Caravaggio
Michelangelo Merisi Caravaggio is a Baroque artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Brukenthal National Museum.
Caravaggio painted everyday scenes lit by sharp, dramatic light against dark backgrounds. His only titled work in this set, *Trișorii*, shows a card game with figures caught in a single beam of light. This style—real bodies, real shadows, real tension—belongs to the Baroque era when artists swapped idealized gods for gritty reality. Want to see how he turned a simple card game into high drama? Tap into the dark corner of *Trișorii*.
