Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio
from The Kennardley Talkstraight Show
Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio Kennardley speaks with a slightly paranoid Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio about his extraordinary double life, that of a master painter, at one time “the most famous painter in Rome”, and his life of street fighting, sword fighting and duelling and trying to stay one step ahead of the law. Join Kennardley in this entertaining, educational, slightly tongue in cheek but generally factual account of one of history's great artists.
