Caravaggio, The Artist Who Died For His Art

You've seen Caravaggio's stunning paintings, but do you know the story behind the images? Caravaggio was a violent and tragic figure who likely died because of his commitment to his art. He became "the most famous painter in Rome" in 1600 and gave birth to the Baroque style and the technique of chiaroscuro, but when he wasn't painting, Caravaggio surrounded himself with thieves, prostitutes, and fights.

This is my FAVORITE artist! His usage of chiaroscuro is standard-setting.

His biography is utterly amazing!

I’m so disappointed. Where is our guy? I’m dying for his artful voice, humor, sarcasm and play on words!

This new narrator is okay, but the original one just makes the channel whole 😅

[nomadv]

Once you’ve heard the original narrator’s voice, you just can’t listen to anyone else on this channel

[araasis]

My favorite artist of all time! I'm so glad to see a video about him!

[MamaKittieKat]

Caravaggio was a man ahead of his time! If he were alive today he'd be celebrated for his realism in his art!

WHO IS THIS NARRATOR???!!! BRING BACK THE OLD ONE. HIS VOICE IS ICONIC!!!!

[hannibalchow]

OG narrator has dad jokes, puns, dry dark humor and a voice that can make a wild wolverine purr.

I know he’s just doing his best, but it’s not the same 😭 I gotta get used to this narrator - at least he talks about interesting topics ❤

[btmbino]

No disrespect to the new narrator but the original one is a huge reason we all tune into these videos .

[cirodirosa]

The Medusa painting is just wow!

He was the best of his time.

[Blitzkrieg]

The horse...talk about VERY old school pettiness😂😂😂 For real, though..I really enjoy the shadow and light in his paintings. ❤

I MISS THE OLD NARRATOR!!!
This new person is good... but why mess with perfection?

[JasonMcgraw]

Ahhh not this guy again bring back the normal narrator he's awesome.

[vicenzor]

That artwork is absolutely exquisite. Some of the best I've seen.

All that lead probably contributed a lot to his violent behaviors

He would be impressed with how Mortal Kombat has progressed. Could you imagine a Caravaggio themed visualization filter for the newer games? Or better yet a GTA style game that takes place in the Circles of Hell with Caravaggio style graphics.

Hello Weird Hostory. I was wondering what happened to the old narrator? The new narrator is good but im just curious.

[HenriqueCSJ]

Great video. Please, could you re-do it again with our favorite narrator?

The worlds best artists are often ego driven and narcissistic. Their body of work, over time ends up telling whether or not the behavior was justified.

Carrivaggio was truly one of the greats... and a very dangerous man to know. I didn't know about the lead poisoning, but that would explain the insane things here did.
