This original painting is 40 × 30 inches, oil on canvas and created in 2025
“Caravaggio's Demise” captures a moment of raw emotion and dramatic tension, echoing the Baroque master's own tumultuous life and signature chiaroscuro style. Caravaggio himself is caught mid-action—his mouth open in a cry of agony, understanding that his fate may now be sealed.
Bathed in a focused beam of light that slices through the darkness, he clutches a rapier with one hand, while the other is clenched tightly in a gesture of fury. The intensity of the expression, the dark palette punctuated by stark highlights, and the theatrical pose all harken back to Caravaggio’s dramatic realism. The play of light and shadow not only pays homage to his artistic legacy but also suggests his inner torment and the violent path that led to his untimely death.
This painting is a powerful meditation on the outburst of pure emotion, pride, and downfall—an imagined but emotionally truthful portrait of Caravaggio at the edge of his fate.
