Eyes of Rome Roma Tours

Accompanied by your expert, entertaining guide you will discover all the places where Caravaggio’s masterpieces are kept. Marvel at stunning paintings, discover beautiful churches, and learn the most interesting stories and anecdotes about Caravaggio’s troubled life.
While most other Italian artists of his time followed the conventions of late mannerist painting, Caravaggio painted the stories of the Bible as visceral and often bloody dramas. He staged the events of a distant sacred past as if they were taking place in the present day, often working from live models whom he depicted in starkly modern dress. He accentuated the poverty and common humanity of Christ and his followers, the Apostles, Saints and Martyrs, by emphasizing their ragged clothing and dirty feet. He also developed a highly original form of chiaroscuro, using extreme contrasts of light and dark to emphasize details of gesture or facial expression.
And emotional and intense journey in Man's soul and spirit, this tour will unveil all the impact of art in life and of life in art.
