Caravaggio. The last time 1606-1610
Museo di Capodimonte
From October 24 2004 to February 6 - 2005

More than twenty masterpieces (and ten ancient copies of disappeared pictures), an exhibition without precedent about an artist who explored the passions, the destiny, the mysterious human condition. The years since 1606 to 1610, the ending of an unquiet and intense life, concentrate experiences and great works, the magic, the presage of the end. In Naples, in Malta, Syracuse, Messina, Palermo, again Naples, Caravaggio finds vital incentives for his ispiration: 'joie de vivre', the baseness, the piety, the compassion, inspire now the consciousness of his "last time".
