Digitally enhanced Public Domain Artwork of '' Madonna and Child with Saint Anne - 1605 '', created by Michelangelo Merisi (Michele Angelo Merigi or Amerighi) da Caravaggio, an Italian painter active in Rome for most of his artistic life. During the final four years of his life he moved between Naples, Malta, and Sicily until his death.
His paintings combine a realistic observation of the human state, both physical and emotional, with a dramatic use of lighting, which had a formative influence on Baroque painting.
Caravaggio employed close physical observation with a dramatic use of chiaroscuro that came to be known as tenebrism. He made the technique a dominant stylistic element, darkening shadows and transfixing subjects in bright shafts of light.
Caravaggio vividly expressed crucial moments and scenes, often featuring violent struggles, torture, and death.
