Caravaggio, whose real name is Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, is an Italian Baroque painter, famous for his dramatic use of chiaroscuro and his realistic, sometimes brutal approach to painting. His powerful and innovative work revolutionized 17th-century painting with its naturalistic character. His often striking and emotional paintings have influenced many artists and given rise to the Caravaggism movement.
