brings statues, pictures and fresco ( painting wall).
So let's see out of the museum without paying entrance, what you can see....
Caravaggio
His first public commissions is the Martyrdom of Saint Mattew and calling of
Saint Mattew in Rome. There after he never lacked commissions or patrons,
yet he handled his success poorly. He was jailed on several occasions,
vandalized his own apartment, and ultimately had a death warrant issued for
him by the Pope.
In 1606 he killed a young man in a brawl and fled from Rome with a price on
his head. He was involved in a brawl in Malta in 1608, and another in Maples
in 1609, possibly a deliberate attempt on his life by unidentified enemies.
This encounter left him severely injured. A year later, at the age of 38, he
died under mysterious circumstance in Porto Ercole, reportedly from a fever
while on his way to Rome to receive a padron. Famous while he lived,
Caravaggio was forgotten almost immediately after his death, and it was only
in the 20th century that his importance to the development of Western art
was rediscoverd.

Caravaggio (
Born 1571)
One of the greatest innovators and revolutionaries of
art history between 1593 to 1610 in Rome, Naples, Malta and
Sicily. His influence on the new Baroque style that eventually emerged from
the ruins of Mannerism was profound. It can be seen directly or indirectly
in the work of Rubens, Jusepe de Ribera, Bernini, and Rembrant, and artists
in the following generation heavily under hos onfluence were called "Caravaggisti"
or "Caravagesques", as well as Tenebrists or "Tenebrosi (shadowists)".
His paintings, which combine a realistic observation of the human state,
born physical and emotional, with a dramatic use of lighting, had a
formative influence on the Baroque school of painting. In his early twenties
Caravaggo moved to Rome from Milan where, during the late 16th and early
17th centuries, many huge new churches and building new being built and
paintings were needed to fill them. Caravaggio's novelty was a redical
naturalism that combined close physical observation with a dramatic, even
theatrical, use of chiaroscuro. This came to be know as Tenebrism, the shift
from light to dark with little intermediate value.
