A canine Caravaggio. ;)

what's a Caravaggio?

Please, please tell me that you're joking. ):

No im not ^^"

Please forgive me if I sounded rude; the truth is that I was very much taken by surprise: because you are someone who draws, I automatically thought that you would be familiar with the work of a man so famous and influential in the history of art.

Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, an artist who died in the early 17th Century, was a major artist of his day and a huge influence on people such as Vermeer and Rembrandt, because of his radical use of extreme chiaroscuro (as in your photograph here). His influence remains alive, especially in film, in the work of cinematographers like Vittorio Storaro. (On the current Region 1 DVD of Bertolucci's THE CONFORMIST, Storaro cites Caravaggio's "The Calling of Saint Matthew" as the key source for the look of this film.)

Your photograph here is so beautifully dark that you can probably expect other people to mention Caravaggio, too; if I noticed the resemblance, anyone might. ;)
