"Bad-Boy" Caravaggio

The Calling of Sts Peter & Andrew
Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, Oil on Canvas, 1602

I found this interesting story on NPR Music about Caravaggio, "the first of the bad-boy artists." Rome, where he was both hailed and rejected, is hosting a major exhibit 400 years after his death. Click here to listen. To read some history about the famous Italian artist, Caravaggio, and to view a nice collection of his stunning artwork, click here.

Enjoy!
