Description

Five years in the making, EXHIBITION ON SCREEN’s Caravaggio is the most extensive film ever made about the revolutionary and controversial artist. Winning the audience choice award for Best Documentary at Chichester International Film Festival on its first screening, this film is set to take the art world by storm, following in the footsteps of the record-breaking documentary Vermeer: The Greatest Exhibition, created by the same team in 2022.

From Milan and Rome to Naples and Malta, and with first-hand testimony from the artist himself on the eve of his mysterious disappearance, this beautiful new film reveals Caravaggio as never before. Featuring the breathtaking masterpieces which have captivated audiences for centuries, this new film from the EXHIBITION ON SCREEN’s multi-award-winning directors David Bickerstaff and Phil Grabsky immerses audiences in the hidden narratives of Caravaggio’s life, piecing together clues embedded within his incredible art and bringing in leading experts from around the world. The intriguing self-depictions within his works — sometimes disguised, sometimes in plain sight — offer a rare window into his psyche and personal struggles. Join us as we unravel the story of one of history’s most brilliant, complex and controversial figures.

Caravaggio’s masterpieces are some of art’s most instantly recognizable. No one else uses his signature blend of dramatic light, intense naturalism and bold, striking figures. His incredible paintings have captivated audiences for centuries. But there lies a deeper mystery — one that still beckons us to explore. What do these masterpieces reveal about the man behind the brush? Accompany us as we explore the intriguing clues that help us understand the life of this remarkable man.
