Join Zak and Lianne as they dive into the tumultuous life of Baroque painter Caravaggio, once the most famous painter in Rome. We’ll explore a duel between jealous lovers (maybe?), his imprisonment, and a smear campaign that Caravaggio launched against one of his enemies. We’ll also cover his masterpieces like “Medusa” and “David with the Head of Goliath”.
