What is Caravaggio most known for?
1 Answer
Caravaggio is most known for his work as an artist. During the late 16th and early 17th centuries, the Italian painter shocked viewers with his dramatic portrayals of familiar historical subjects and everyday people engaging in their daily activities. His work was highly influential due to his use of light and dark, which added tension and gave his work a theatrical quality. Some of Caravaggio's most famous paintings include Young Sick Bacchus, Medusa, The Musicians, The Conversion of Saint Paul, The Beheading of Saint John the Baptist and The Entombment of Christ.
