In 1606, Caravaggio arrived in Naples and transformed the local art scene. In this first lesson, we will examine how Caravaggio’s unique style, characterized by his dramatic use of light and shadow, profoundly influenced artists such as Jusepe de Ribera and Luca Giordano, who worked in Europe’s second largest city during the 17th century.

The series | In each of the three lectures included in the new series, we will focus on a painting style or an artistic movement that emerged in a particular geographic region during the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. We will begin in 17th century Naples, and study artists who were inspired by the baroque artist Caravaggio; we will continue with the painters of the city of Venice, which was one of the main tourist destinations of the 18th century; and we will conclude our journey in Tuscany with a group of artists who worked during the dawn of modernism and in the spirit of the 19th century national awakening movement.
