The exhibition that has just been opened at the Scuderie del Quirinale shows only the certain works of the Master. It is an extraordinary display of the great masterpieces by Caravaggio: he has always been recognised as a great innovator in painting, an unique painter that succeeded in giving light to the shadow. The exhibition that has been studied by Claudio Strinati and Rossella Vodret with the support of Francesco Buranelli shows to the attention of the public the «real masterpieces» of the Master and among them we find: the two «last suppers in Emmaus» from the National Gallery of London and from the Pinacoteca di Brera, «The Musicians» from the Metropolitan Museum of New York, «The Deposition» from the Vatican Museums, «The Lute player» from the Ermitage Museum, and the magnificent «Annunciation» from the Museum of Nancy. The career of Caravaggio in the exhibition is divided in three periods: the youth 1599 (the works belonging to this period are placed with a green background), the success, from 1600 until 1606 (with a red background) and the flight until 1610 (with a grey background). All the works we can admire in the exhibition are well-known all over the world, and this is an unique opportunity to see them altogether and to realize the high artistic level of Caravaggio who changed deeply the way of painting and became a great innovator in this wonderful art.
