Hay hombre que nos recuerda que el curso de la historia no es lento ni regular. Caravage (1571-1610) lo hizo por medio de sus innovaciones si radicales las cuales trasformaron el desarrollo de la pintura occidental. Un agitador y acusado de asesinato, Carvage no cesara nunca de pintar y ello bajo la protección de sus mecenas en fuga para escapar a la justicia pontifical. El contraste entre su obra pictural, los instantes suspendidos su enrancia vital matizada de pasajes al acto nos deja que pensar que a pesar de su considerable obra, su poder creador no ha podido ganar el paso sobre las inflexiones mortíferas que el inflige desde sus primeras obras. Su enrancia se acentúa al final de su vida, mientras que el libraba en su pintura grandes composiciones religiosas con temas desesperados y en busca de una absolución divina.

SABOURET EMMANUELLE : THE SEPARATION OF CARAVAGGIO
There are men who remind us that the flow of history is neither unhurried nor measured. Caravaggio (1571-1610) was one of these, thanks to innovations that were so radical they changed the course of Occidental painting. A notorious troublemaker – he was convicted of murder – he never ceased painting, be it under the protection of liberal patrons or on the run from papal justice. The disparity between the suspended moments he captured on canvas and his wayward wanderings punctuated with actions suggests that, despite the seminal nature of his work, his creative powers never quite prevailed over the attraction of the abyss he staged right from his early production. The drift accelerated in later years whilst he still engaged, sheltered by his canvas, in large religious compositions, exploring themes of despair and seeking out divine release.
