Follow Caravaggio’s Footsteps
Playing with lights and shadows for superb theatrical chiaroscuro effects, it is no surprise that more than 400 years after his death his artistic legacy – and tumultuous personal life – continue to fascinate.
From the Conversion of Saint Paul and the Crucifixion of Saint Peter (in the Parish Basilica of Santa Maria del Popolo) to the Madonna of the Pilgrims (in the Church of Saint Augustine) to the painting cycle about St. Matthew’s life (in the Church of St. Louis of the French), Caravaggio has really left his trace throughout Rome.
Go on a walking tour of Rome with art historians and take in selected galleries such as the Borghese, Barberini, and Doria Pamphilj. If you feel particularly artsy, what better way than to become an artist for a day? Experience the magic of holding the brush with our “Catching the Light” painting class! Immersed in a scenic spot of Rome, enjoy one-on-one instruction and tips by an expert art connoisseur and create your own masterpiece for an amazing take-me-home memory.
Alternatively, why not explore all the secrets of a Restoration Studio in central Rome with our “Layers of Life” experience? Unveil the beauty of original masterpieces and end with a closing aperitif.
