From Carvaggio biography:

Quote:

Nothing distinguished Caravaggio's history paintings more strongly from the art of the Renaissance than his refusal to portray the human individual as sublime, beautiful and heroic. His figures are bowed, bent, cowering, reclining or stooped. The self confident and the statuesque have been replaced by humility and subjection.







I like to think that this is what Cupid would look like after the stroke he would suffer watching a Max Movie.

I think too much.
