Caravaggio was a painter who created many works that were not only beautiful, but also extremely powerful. He worked during the Baroque period of art, which was characterized by its use of dramatic effects and exaggerated movement.
Caravaggio is known for his use of chiaroscuro (light and dark) and tenebrism (painting with lots of shadows). He also had a unique way of depicting human emotion in his paintings.
Some of his most popular pieces include: "Medusa", "David with the Head of Goliath", "Judith Beheading Holofernes", "The Conversion of Saint Paul on the Road to Damascus", "The Beheading of Saint John the Baptist", and "The Supper at Emmaus".
