"Inside Caravaggio"
from 29 September 2017 to 28 January 2018
Palazzo Reale - Milan
“Dentro Caravaggio” presents an unexplored new perspective of the years of the artist’s extraordinary production, under the light of a some new documents and more recent researches
Once again Milan pays homage to the genius artist showing eighteen of the master's works of art together for the first time ever.
Deemed as unique, this retrospective not only presents the public with works on loan from other major Italian museums, and from equally important foreign museums, but for the first time ever Caravaggio's canvases will be flanked by their respective radiographic images thanks to the innovative use of multimedia equipment, enabling the audience to follow and discover the artist's journey from his initial thoughts to the final achievement.
Through diagnostic methods such as reflectographs and x-rays, which penetrate to a different extent under the pictorial surface, it is possible to analyse Caravaggio’s creative process, his idiosyncratic painting technique, his changes of heart, modifications and adjustments in composition.
