1601 / The Incredulity of Saint Thomas (Ecclesiastical Version)

Florence, Private Collection

118 × 156.5 cm Oil on canvas

If you ever seen a Caravaggio in real life, you know that these works are worth traveling to. I cant explain the effect I just know that once you watch it you are left wanting more. you believe in Art again.

Its strong, intense even, beautiful, sad, majestic and spiritual.

Its a subjective feeling off course, but it seems many share it. when you walk along a museum bigger than your ability to walk, it stops you. what is this?

its Caravaggio.

So, If you want to see the master in real life go to Italy, where to?

Florence, Rome and Napoli.
