Caravaggio: The Final Years

Caravaggio: The Final Years opens at the National Gallery in London on the 23rd February.

Petroc Trelawny looks at the parallels between Caravaggio and the music of Carlo Gesualdo, Prince of Venosa. Both had killed and both were looking for redemption.

Petroc is guided around the exhibition by Assistant Curator, Xavier Bray. Below is a selection of the works they discussed.
