Caravaggio transformed the tradition of art in Italy during his brief life.  His daring approach to painting influenced countless artists in his native country and elsewhere.  In this Zoom lecture, art historian Jeff Mishur will discuss several paintings by the Italian Baroque master, including two rare loans that will be on display in conjunction with the Art Institute of Chicago special exhibition, Among Friends and Rivals: Caravaggio in Rome.  Mishur will also discuss Caravaggio's exciting life as well as the important contributions he made to Baroque art.
