Caravaggio’s Naples: A Dark Masterpiece in a Turbulent City
Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio’s time in Naples, though relatively brief (1606-1607 and again in 1609-1610), left an indelible mark on the city and its art scene. Forced to flee Rome after a murder, Naples provided Caravaggio a refuge, and he, in turn, gifted the city with masterpieces that reflect the drama, grit, and raw humanity that defined both his life and the Neapolitan spirit.
