Abstract

Caravaggio is famous for his mastering of chiaroscuro and controversial subject matters. From both a technical and social perspective, Caravaggio’s works were revolutionary. As he broke the decorums, he was redefining aestheticism and pushing the boundaries of the artistic society, sometimes also facing rejections. This paper will examine how Caravaggio committed to paint truthfully, thus, making his works accessible to the general public and changing the artistic landscape. By looking into both Caravaggio’s artistic compositions and his interactions with the society at large, this paper examines his unique loyalty to truthfulness and the consequences to his artistic choices.
