CARAVAGGIO (b. 1573, Caravaggio, d. 1610, Porto Ercole) St. Francis in Ecstasy c. 1595 Oil on canvas, 92,5 x 128,4 cm Wadsworth Atheneum, Hartford, Connecticut This is one of the artist's first works. It has a perfectly Lombard air: the broad lines of the composition recall mannerist motives. But Caravaggio's characteristic approach to reality is already at work, and his brushstroke shows a magic that could be obtained only by a thorough analysis of Venetian painting. --- Keywords: -------------- Author: CARAVAGGIO Title: St. Francis in Ecstasy Time-line: 1551-1600 School: Italian Form: painting Type: religious
