No one has ever captured the human state, both physical and emotional, violent struggles, torture, and even death better than the Italian master, Michelangelo Caravaggio (1571-1610). And no one has ever better depicted such dramatic contrast between light and dark. Caravaggio lived his art. He brawled, he fought, he was jailed. He even committed murder. From the safety of Stockport Art Gallery, Ed Glinert, tour guide for New Manchester Walks, an Arts Society lecturer, tells the shocking story and shows the emotionally charged paintings.
