Description
Discover why Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, though a troubled human being, is considered by some to be the greatest artist of all time. Learn about the Baroque period in art, which sprang from the events and ideas of the Counter-Reformation in seventeenth-century Italy. What legacy did Caravaggio leave behind that still lives on today in art and film? The class will conclude with a field trip to the Utah Museum of Fine Arts to view the work of followers of the artist.
