3
00:07:07,541 --> 00:07:08,708
The life of Caravaggio
4
00:07:08,791 --> 00:07:10,250
and the art of Caravaggio
5
00:07:10,333 --> 00:07:11,458
overlap.
6
00:07:13,041 --> 00:07:14,458
It's not possible
7
00:07:14,541 --> 00:07:16,417
to understand Caravaggio's art
8
00:07:16,500 --> 00:07:19,291
if you don't
understand his life.
9
00:07:19,791 --> 00:07:21,750
You understand Caravaggio's life
10
00:07:21,833 --> 00:07:23,416
by looking at his works.
11
00:18:24,916 --> 00:18:27,250
It would seem that he always
12
00:18:27,333 --> 00:18:29,708
lived a fairly solitary life
13
00:18:30,916 --> 00:18:34,833
a bohemian life.
14
00:18:35,250 --> 00:18:39,291
He frequented
the various taverns.
15
00:18:39,916 --> 00:18:43,250
He went around with a sword,
16
00:18:43,333 --> 00:18:46,041
he liked to party.
17
00:18:46,458 --> 00:18:50,583
As far as family is concerned
18
00:18:51,041 --> 00:18:53,542
he never married
19
00:18:53,625 --> 00:18:55,250
and had no children.
20
00:18:55,333 --> 00:18:58,792
Some documents reveal that
21
00:18:58,875 --> 00:19:07,417
he did have male lovers though.
22
00:19:07,500 --> 00:19:11,875
These are quite
sporadic testimonies
23
00:19:11,958 --> 00:19:17,750
but they certainly
suggest a scenario,
24
00:19:18,125 --> 00:19:20,166
where it’s possible that he
25
00:19:21,250 --> 00:19:24,500
had lovers that were also male.
26
00:24:30,750 --> 00:24:34,500
Caravaggio reproduced
on the canvas
27
00:24:34,583 --> 00:24:36,916
an image he knew well.
28
00:24:37,416 --> 00:24:39,875
An image of a tavern,
29
00:24:40,583 --> 00:24:45,083
of players playing cards
30
00:24:45,166 --> 00:24:47,291
and cheating at cards.
31
00:24:47,750 --> 00:24:50,333
The important thing
32
00:24:50,583 --> 00:24:52,708
is that this painting represents
33
00:24:53,125 --> 00:24:56,791
the condemnation
of the card game.
34
00:24:57,291 --> 00:24:59,000
It depicts a young man
35
00:24:59,083 --> 00:25:03,958
being cheated by the cardsharps.
36
00:25:04,375 --> 00:25:06,542
And he shows all this
37
00:25:06,625 --> 00:25:09,250
with the typical light
38
00:25:09,333 --> 00:25:11,416
of his early artistic years.
39
00:25:11,583 --> 00:25:13,625
In those early years, Caravaggio
40
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,583
made very colourful
41
00:25:16,666 --> 00:25:18,875
very bright paintings.
42
00:35:40,458 --> 00:35:45,042
Caravaggio's light
is a particular light.
43
00:35:45,125 --> 00:35:47,667
It clearly has various meanings,
44
00:35:47,750 --> 00:35:49,917
it represents
precisely the light
45
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:51,417
that illuminates the scene
46
00:35:51,500 --> 00:35:53,333
in a theatrical way.
47
00:35:53,416 --> 00:35:55,375
But it also represents
48
00:35:55,541 --> 00:35:57,875
the light of God who redeems.
49
00:35:58,625 --> 00:36:01,708
And light represents
50
00:36:01,833 --> 00:36:04,250
Caravaggio's ally.
51
00:36:04,625 --> 00:36:08,708
Caravaggio embraced
light like a friend.
52
00:36:09,458 --> 00:36:12,666
Light allowed him to
53
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:14,458
remove the dark,
54
00:36:14,833 --> 00:36:16,750
to eliminate the dark.
55
00:36:17,541 --> 00:36:20,458
To show the things
that happen in the dark.
56
00:36:20,708 --> 00:36:23,041
The dark is like a presence,
57
00:36:23,250 --> 00:36:25,416
that he felt inside him
58
00:36:25,666 --> 00:36:28,625
He knew he was a great artist
59
00:36:29,291 --> 00:36:31,375
but also a great sinner.
60
00:36:31,791 --> 00:36:34,416
The shadow and the darkness
61
00:36:34,625 --> 00:36:37,333
increasingly dominate the light.
62
00:40:49,458 --> 00:40:51,666
The other formal aspect
63
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:55,541
which has a great
impact on the work
64
00:40:55,833 --> 00:40:58,875
is that the stool
the saint is sitting on
65
00:40:59,208 --> 00:41:01,625
is falling towards
the spectator.
66
00:41:02,125 --> 00:41:04,167
It is as if the Church
67
00:41:04,250 --> 00:41:06,250
and the message of the Church
68
00:41:06,375 --> 00:41:08,500
was literally falling
into the faithfuls.
69
00:41:08,583 --> 00:41:10,833
And the faithfuls found
themselves invested
70
00:41:10,916 --> 00:41:13,625
in the strength of religion,
71
00:41:13,708 --> 00:41:16,625
in this case, of the
Catholic Church.
72
00:41:17,250 --> 00:41:19,042
Making them participate
73
00:41:19,125 --> 00:41:21,583
in this story of Saint Matthew
74
00:41:22,208 --> 00:41:24,708
This is a reading,
in my opinion,
75
00:41:24,791 --> 00:41:26,750
is what Caravaggio
wanted to convey.
76
00:41:26,833 --> 00:41:29,333
The saint, and
therefore the Church,
77
00:41:29,416 --> 00:41:34,750
are engaging and
involving the viewer.
78
00:58:57,791 --> 00:58:59,666
Around 1604,
79
00:58:59,958 --> 00:59:03,000
Caravaggio paints
for a church in Rome,
80
00:59:03,083 --> 00:59:05,333
the Deposition
81
00:59:05,708 --> 00:59:08,708
You can see how
Caravaggio is clearly
82
00:59:08,791 --> 00:59:11,083
inspired by classicism.
83
00:59:11,458 --> 00:59:14,750
This work at first glance
84
00:59:14,833 --> 00:59:17,875
almost looks like a sculpture.
85
00:59:19,750 --> 00:59:24,292
We see a Christ
that is truly dead,
86
00:59:24,375 --> 00:59:25,917
that is heavy,
87
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:28,166
and not just in spirit.
88
00:59:28,916 --> 00:59:30,917
The person who supports him
89
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:32,208
is struggling
90
00:59:32,291 --> 00:59:34,416
and needs help from another.
91
00:59:35,458 --> 00:59:38,042
They struggle to
support this weight
92
00:59:38,125 --> 00:59:40,042
that is lowered into the grave
93
00:59:40,125 --> 00:59:42,458
like a kind of freight elevator
94
00:59:42,541 --> 00:59:44,125
because there is
that slab of stone
95
00:59:44,208 --> 00:59:47,625
on which they are standing
96
00:59:47,708 --> 00:59:49,958
which seems to be descending
97
00:59:50,041 --> 00:59:51,333
into the grave.
98
00:59:51,416 --> 00:59:55,000
It's both very realistic
99
00:59:55,083 --> 00:59:57,375
and very significant.
100
00:59:57,458 --> 01:00:03,416
Caravaggio is
representing here the fact,
101
01:00:03,791 --> 01:00:05,875
the important fact,
102
01:00:05,958 --> 01:00:08,958
the human fact,
103
01:00:09,458 --> 01:00:13,500
the tangible
human fact of death.
104
01:06:12,375 --> 01:06:13,958
The Death of the Virgin
105
01:06:14,041 --> 01:06:15,958
is an extraordinary work
106
01:06:16,041 --> 01:06:18,875
It has been called
the most religious
107
01:06:18,958 --> 01:06:21,166
painting of the
seventeenth century.
108
01:06:22,750 --> 01:06:25,167
Caravaggio made this painting
109
01:06:25,250 --> 01:06:27,542
in Rome just before
110
01:06:27,625 --> 01:06:30,708
he had to flee for his life.
111
01:06:31,958 --> 01:06:33,625
She is clearly a dead woman.
112
01:06:33,708 --> 01:06:37,333
Some have suggested
he modelled her
113
01:06:37,416 --> 01:06:41,917
after a drowned woman
114
01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:46,041
pulled from a river.
115
01:06:48,916 --> 01:06:50,792
The work is extraordinary
116
01:06:50,875 --> 01:06:54,833
because of the
set he constructs,
117
01:06:55,500 --> 01:06:57,875
he adds characters,
118
01:06:57,958 --> 01:07:00,792
but there are two figures
119
01:07:00,875 --> 01:07:04,375
that are peculiar and memorable.
120
01:07:05,541 --> 01:07:08,083
One is Mary Magdalene
121
01:07:08,166 --> 01:07:09,625
who is in the foreground
122
01:07:09,708 --> 01:07:11,000
crying desperately.
123
01:07:11,583 --> 01:07:13,125
She is distraught
124
01:07:13,208 --> 01:07:15,500
in the face of death.
125
01:07:15,958 --> 01:07:19,333
She is not shown as
happy that the Virgin Mary
126
01:07:19,416 --> 01:07:22,000
has died and is on
her way to heaven
127
01:07:22,208 --> 01:07:24,125
I believe Caravaggio
128
01:07:24,208 --> 01:07:27,625
has put his mother
in that image,
129
01:07:27,708 --> 01:07:29,958
as he saw her on her deathbed.
130
01:07:30,083 --> 01:07:32,083
He paints this with love.
131
01:07:32,458 --> 01:07:35,458
So when the
painting was rejected
132
01:07:35,541 --> 01:07:37,791
it was a very heavy blow.
133
01:07:37,958 --> 01:07:40,833
This may have
contributed, in my opinion,
134
01:07:40,916 --> 01:07:43,250
to his agitation
that then led him
135
01:07:43,333 --> 01:07:45,667
a few months later
136
01:07:45,750 --> 01:07:47,291
to murder.
137
01:33:41,958 --> 01:33:44,292
The Martyrdom of Saint Ursula
138
01:33:44,375 --> 01:33:46,833
is a truly exceptional painting
139
01:33:46,916 --> 01:33:49,791
and probably his last.
140
01:33:51,000 --> 01:33:52,666
The Martyrdom of Saint Ursula,
141
01:33:53,208 --> 01:33:54,750
is a painting that
142
01:33:54,833 --> 01:33:56,667
fortunately we rediscovered
143
01:33:56,750 --> 01:33:58,333
only a few years ago
144
01:33:58,708 --> 01:34:00,333
The framing
145
01:34:00,416 --> 01:34:04,042
is particularly cinematic
or photographic.
146
01:34:04,125 --> 01:34:05,250
Because what do you see?
147
01:34:05,333 --> 01:34:10,416
You see the archer
killing Saint Ursula
148
01:34:10,541 --> 01:34:12,833
from very close range.
149
01:34:13,333 --> 01:34:16,750
They are almost
touching one another.
150
01:34:17,416 --> 01:34:20,250
He shoots the
arrow, she receives it
151
01:34:20,625 --> 01:34:23,083
The killer and the one killed.
152
01:34:23,458 --> 01:34:25,833
Caravaggio also puts
himself in the picture,
153
01:34:25,916 --> 01:34:27,792
even if it’s unrealistic,
154
01:34:27,875 --> 01:34:31,708
watching this murder.
155
01:34:32,541 --> 01:34:35,708
Perhaps as a witness
156
01:34:35,875 --> 01:34:38,916
and also perhaps as the victim.
157
01:36:25,791 --> 01:36:27,583
Certainly Caravaggio
158
01:36:27,958 --> 01:36:29,666
is a modern painter
159
01:36:30,166 --> 01:36:32,750
The essence of Caravaggio's art,
160
01:36:32,833 --> 01:36:35,791
the central thing is truth.
161
01:36:36,500 --> 01:36:37,625
Caravaggio
162
01:36:38,041 --> 01:36:40,375
was a great painter
163
01:36:40,875 --> 01:36:42,250
when he was alive.
164
01:36:42,333 --> 01:36:44,042
He was then imitated
165
01:36:44,125 --> 01:36:46,167
praised by young painters
166
01:36:46,250 --> 01:36:49,375
who saw his new way of painting
167
01:36:49,458 --> 01:36:53,042
that broke with the
painting style of the time
168
01:36:53,125 --> 01:36:56,083
and therefore had
many followers.
