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.
