Exhibition on Screen: Caravaggio

Director: David Bickerstaff & Phil Grabsky

Five years in the making, this is the most extensive film ever made about this revolutionary artist. With first-hand testimony from the artist himself on the eve of his mysterious disappearance, this film reveals Caravaggio as never before. Featuring masterpiece after masterpiece and testimony from leading experts from around the world, Caravaggio immerses audiences in the hidden narratives of the artist’s life, piecing together clues embedded within his incredible art.

Caravaggio’s masterpieces are some of art’s most instantly recognisable. No one else uses his signature blend of dramatic light, intense naturalism and bold, striking figures. His astonishing paintings have captivated audiences for centuries. But there lies a deeper mystery – one that still beckons us to explore. What do these masterpieces reveal about the man behind the brush? The intriguing self-depictions within his works – sometimes disguised, sometimes in plain sight – offer a rare window into his psyche and personal struggles. Join us as we unravel the story of one of history’s most brilliant, complex and controversial figures.
