COVID-19 PART 1

Synopsis

Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio was one of the active Italian artists during 1593 till 1610. His paintings which were combination of realistic observation of human state both physical and mental, had a formative influence on Baroque painting. The subjects of his paintings were Christian ones. There is a deep and metaphoric relation between philosophy of Caravaggio paintings (The incredulity of saint Thomas and The sacrifice of Isaac ) and phases of Coronavirus disease. Caravaggio hurts for our recuperation. In order to show us the whole picture of the world, he bothers us. Caravaggio could still have a prophetic figure for our Contemporary world. This collection was designed in 9 parts.
