Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio was a late 16th century painter whose personal life and artistic career were both controversial. Caravaggio's use of light is considered a 'reformation' in the treatment of religious subjects.

Grace Rainey Rogers Auditorium. For tickets and additional information, visit The Metropolitan Museum of Art online.
