Rediscovering Caravaggio and His Followers in Rome
Very few of Caravaggio’s works survive, and yet his considerable influence on Baroque painters across Europe is the subject of a new exhibition, “Caravaggio and His Followers in Rome” at the National Gallery of Canada, traveling to the Kimbell Art Museum later this fall. Most recently, an unknown portrait by Caravaggio has been uncovered, dating approximately to the year 1600 when the Italian artist was at his height.
