EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of Caravaggio's masterpiece, "The Calling of St Matthew". Painted between 1599 and 1600, this oil on canvas artwork is housed in the Contarelli Chapel within the beautiful S. Luigi dei Francesi church in Rome, Italy. Caravaggio, also known as Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, was a renowned Italian artist from the Renaissance period. His extraordinary talent shines through in this particular painting which depicts the moment when Saint Matthew is called to follow Jesus. In this close-up shot captured by photographer Luisa Ricciarini, we are drawn into the scene with intense focus on St Matthew's face. The details are strikingly realistic; every brushstroke seems to breathe life into his expression of amazement and surprise. The use of light and shadow adds depth and drama to the composition while emphasizing Caravaggio's signature chiaroscuro technique. The subject's elegant attire and hat further highlight his youthfulness and add an element of sophistication to the overall portrait. Ricciarini skillfully captures not only the physical aspects but also manages to convey a sense of emotion that resonates with viewers. This photograph serves as a testament to both Caravaggio's artistic genius and Ricciarini's ability to capture its essence through her lens. As we gaze upon this image, we cannot help but be captivated by its beauty and transported back in time to witness one of history's most significant moments
