Caravaggio is one of my favorite artists of all time - great historical figure, highly revolutionary in terms of Western art, unique subject matter/style.
Among other things, at the height of his career he was banished from Rome after killing a man...sent this work from his hide out in Southern Italy to the Pope (who had placed a reward on his head because of the killing)...guess whose head Caravaggio painted as Goliath?...(pretty gutsy artist if you ask me!!)
Yeah?
