Caravaggio: a Study of Man Bathing

Caravaggio:  A Study of Man Bathing

                     "Amor Vincit Omnia 
                      (Love conquers all)"
                                  M. Caravaggio 

He said:   Turn back the drapes,
                  this requires an early morning light....

He said:   How rare...that pervasive 
                  primary color.

He said:   There was dew left on the skin
                  from the bath.

He said:    I have painted holy men!

He said:    The brush wasn't wet enough. 

He said:    Notice that triangle of sable 
                   below the navel?  A difficult 
                   color...

He said:    I never saw Matthew and Paul                                      
                   like this.

He said:    There's no mistaking his aura. 

He said:    Turn more to the right.

He said:    If I were a woman--
                   I would love him too.
