In Detail

Mystery, intrigue, beauty, passion, murder – shine a new light on Caravaggio in this dramatic biography. Five years in production, this is the most extensive film ever made about one of the greatest artists of all time.

Featuring masterpiece after masterpiece and with first-hand testimony from the artist himself on the eve of his mysterious disappearance. Caravaggio’s masterpieces are some of art’s most instantly recognisable. No one else uses his signature blend of dramatic light, intense naturalism and bold, striking figures. His incredible paintings have captivated audiences for centuries. But there lies a deeper mystery - one that still beckons us to explore.

What do these masterpieces reveal about the man behind the brush? The intriguing self-depictions within his works - sometimes disguised, sometimes in plain sight - offer a rare window into his psyche and personal struggles. Join us as we unravel the story of one of history’s most brilliant, complex and controversial figures.

We are delighted to welcome co-director Phil Grabsky for a Q&A after the screening.
