He takes it even further: In his beheading of Goliath. David is Caravaggio as an innocent child. He is beheading Goliath which is also himself, but as the sinful adult he has become. I think he gifted this painting to the pope to be allowed back in Italy; saying he beheaded his sinful self and put that behind him.

Nerdwriter uses a flickering light around the border of all of the opening pieces of art. Then at 0:51 when he cuts to Caravaggio the flickering light is gone. That subtle piece of editing mimics the arresting quality that seeing a Caravaggio in person for the first time would have. Subconsciously you know something is different from the previous works shown. There’s a calmness in the visual quality now, one that just captures your attention, draws you in. Nerdwriter is a very talented video essayist indeed.

I know nothing about art and art history, but in "The Taking of Jesus Christ", I looked at it with open mouth. The shine on the Knight's armor was incredibly real, the shadows on JC's mimics is dooming, the background being pitch black is contrasting... Also instead of halos being light sources and big, he went for a single golden line which is elegant and beautiful. I've never got this excited about an art piece. Thanks for the video.

I've been in love with Caravaggio's paintings ever since I first laid eyes on them. They're so potent and virile... life distilled on a canvas. The renditions of 'St. John the Baptist in the Wilderness' are faves of mine. You spoke of the wasted potential with his early death. Artemisia Gentileschi can be considered his successor, taking into account the history they had. His influence is evident in her style, especially in the 'Judith and her maidservant' series.

Although it's fair to point out that had he settled in his later years he may have been able to draw on those youthful passions.

I don't fully understand why, but when I see such beautiful paintings that not only depicts motion and human expressions so perfectly but does that in such bold lighting and incredible execution, it makes me emotional in a weird way, like I'm participating in a hyper-reality, where one feels connected through time and space and share the same emotions, reactions and feelings with all of the other humans that where fortunate enough to glimpse in that artwork. It's as if each color picked and stroke made were made violating all of the chaos in the world to make a near-perfect simulacrum on reality and that incredible feat can be shared between everybody in a way that words are incapable of accurately describing it. God, art is awesome.

Thank you for making this video, for your attention to detail, for the high quality of the content, for your edifying commentary and analysis on the art; it is a true gift.

Powerful opening on the white screen! I physically pulled back when St. Matt popped in frame then leaned forward eagerly! It’s so much more impactful in the context of mannerism. “Calmed down and lived another thirty years,” is new favorite summary for all creatives. Thank you and looking forward to MORE ART HISTORY!

The way that Jesus is obscured in that painting is interesting. It almost makes him feel more mysterious and divine, still commanding awe even if his full form isn’t viewable to mortal men.

It also makes Matthew the subject of the painting rather than Jesus, who usually takes center stage in art.

"The taking of Christ" is in the National Gallery in Dublin, Ireland. You can see this picture for free and is impressive.

my first encounter with Caravaggio was in Dublin seeing The Taking of Christ, for ever after he has been my favourite Renaissance painter. Fantastic work as always nerdwriter1, he truly is the master of the light.

I was National Gallery of Ireland, Dublin to admire the superb painting - The Taking of Christ , master Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio... It was mind blowing.

Critic: "He paints shadows contrasted by light..." Caravaggio: "I just have a lot of black paint..."

What a wonderful (and illuminating) video -- I've always been in love with Caravaggio's work, and I don't see it talked about much here. You're still absolutely one of the best at what you do, so I say: Thank you!

Thank you very much for highlighting Caravaggio, my late uncle’s favourite artist. I can not help but shed a tear understanding more about this guy and in turn uncovering my mysterious uncle posthumously.

as an artist who pushes back against the corruption and pretentiousness of the art world, these videos re spark my passion, so much so I actually cried when you were describing this. Your art analysis videos are always so so powerful to me

Its insane to consider that these artists were so young by todays standards. At 38 his art career should barely have started

I stumbled upon this painting in Rome. I was near the trevi fountain, near it there was a church St Louis the French, a beautiful baroque church, and on the left cupola, there were the 3 masterpieces. Then I thought this could only happen in Rome
