Caravaggio Caravaggio was an Italian Baroque painter who revolutionized art with his dramatic use of light and shadow—a technique known as chiaroscuro—and his unprecedented realism in depicting religious subjects. His works such as The Calling of Saint Matthew, Judith Beheading Holofernes, and David with the Head of Goliath were groundbreaking for their psychological intensity and raw humanity. His turbulent life—marked by violence, exile, and murder charges—ended at age 38, but his influence on Baroque art and countless painters who followed was immense.
