Caravaggio is one of the most famous painters in Italy, and one of the founders and important founders of the Baroque school. He has a huge influence on Baroque art.

In addition, he also led Caravaggio, and his short stay in Naples led to the birth of the famous Neapolitan Caravaggio school!

Later Caravaggio School of Utrecht was also deeply influenced by Caravaggio's works!

When the painters of the Caravaggio School of Utrecht left Rome and returned to the north, they had an important influence on many famous painters in northern Europe.

In the history of European art, Caravaggio has a very important position, and his oil paintings are praised and collected by countless people!

Some people even spoke highly of: "Caravaggio's work marked the beginning of modern painting!"

According to the famous painting critic Longi, without Caravaggio, there would be no Ribeira, Vermeer, La Tour and Rembrandt! Without him, Delacroix, Courbet and Mane would be completely different.

Bernard Berenson, an authority on Italian Renaissance art, also fully agrees with this statement.

He once commented on Caravaggio: "Except for Michelangelo, no Italian painter has such a big influence!"

Caravaggio's life was intoxicating, dangerous, and full of mystery!

In Rome at the beginning of the seventeenth century, he was not only a well-known and highly respected artist, but also known as the savior of art! Also a very aggressive swordsman, gladiator, a complex of contradictions!

The earliest review of him was found in 1604, and that material describes his lifestyle about three years ago.

"He only needs to work for two weeks, and he can wander across the sword for a month or two, and there are servants who follow, from one court to another, always ready to fight and fight, so it is extremely embarrassing to be with him!"

It is this combative character that made his artistic career very bumpy!

Even at the peak of his creative career, Caravaggio spent most of his time on the road to desperation.

In 1606, he killed a young man in a fight and was offered a reward for his head, so he had to flee Rome.

In 1608, he was involved in another fight in Malta and was thrown into prison by the Maltese authorities, but he escaped from Malta and escaped to Naples.

In 1609, there was another **** battle in Naples. An unknown person swore to his hair to take his life, and then escaped!

In the end, Caravaggio completely played himself to death in this dangerous and desperate life!

In 1610, after only a little over ten years as a painter, Caravaggio passed away at the age of 39!

Although his career as a painter is very short, he has left many immortal works, shining with glory! It had an extremely profound impact on later European art!

The picture in front of him was created in 1608, during the most difficult period of his life!

In this oil painting, the birth of **** is given a hazy atmosphere, and the characters have solemn expressions, which are completely opposite to the paintings that eulogize the birth of **** and bring joy.

And this is exactly what Caravaggio wants to express. He wants to express his concern about the future of mankind with more uncertain factors, just like his own situation and fate at the time!

In Caravaggio's writings, Christ and many sages became commoners.

They have bare bones, thick eyebrows, big eyes, shaggy beards, and ragged clothes. They are not at all as glamorous as the masters of their predecessors.

He painted all the sages after fishermen, farmers, workers, and homeless people, and he claimed to bring these lower classes into churches.

And he did this too. Many of his works have been collected in the church for later generations!

After Caravaggio's death, this one has been kept in the San Lorenzo Chapel in Palermo, Sicily, for people to admire and appreciate.

Until 1969, two thieves broke into this chapel and stole this famous painting!

For the sake of convenience, the two thieves directly cut the famous painting with a paper knife and left the frame!

In the decades that followed, this famous painting was like a clay cow entering the sea, without any news!

However, there have been countless rumors circulating around this famous painting and this case over the past few decades.

Some people say that the Italian Mafia robbed this famous painting, and due to careless protection of the painting, it caused serious damage to this famous painting and it is impossible to repair it.

After that, the painting was run over by many people, and it was no longer known where it ended up!

According to the speculation of the Italian police and the Italian National Antiquities Protection Center, this famous painting is probably still in the hands of a leader of the Sicilian Mafia!

It is also said that this famous painting was stolen by two amateur collectors in Palermo. After a fight and a **** fight, it finally fell into the hands of the Sicilian Mafia.

Before being arrested, the Mafia leader who obtained this famous painting put the famous painting, millions of dollars, and several kilograms of **** in a large iron box, buried it underground, and went missing!

In addition, there are many other rumors. Almost all rumors are related to the Sicilian Mafia. This famous painting is in the hands of the Mafia, which has become a consensus.

Since this famous painting was stolen, the Italian police and the Italian National Cultural Relics Protection Center have never given up on tracing, and have also put up a huge reward!

It is a pity that after decades, they still got nothing, and they didn't even find much valuable information! The chance of Caravaggio’s famous painting reappearing seems increasingly slim!

But who would have thought ~www.novelhall.com~ This famous painting is not in Sicily, but in Boston, USA, in the living room of a pastor of the Old North Church, it hangs grandily, and the surface is only covered with a special layer pigment!

On the edge of this famous painting, the traces of the paper cutter cutting are clearly visible. Ye Tian's heart trembled and he shouted a pity!

In addition, there is no other damage to this oil painting, it is still well preserved, and it is not as badly damaged and irreparable as the rumors do!

God knows how Thompson got this famous painting. It's really amazing! Have to admire!

"However, from today onwards, this famous painting belongs to my buddies, no one wants to take it away!"

Ye Tian said to himself, decisively!

Of course, it is not impossible for the National Cultural Heritage Protection Center of Italy to take it back. It depends on how much you are prepared to pay!

If the price paid can't satisfy your buddies, then stay cool!

You know, the estimated value of this famous painting was as high as 20 million U.S. dollars N years ago, let alone now, it is definitely a crazy price!

After admiring this famous painting again, Ye Tian turned his gaze reluctantly and looked at another famous painting in the bedroom.
