Michele Bajona

Young Caravaggio. A portrait of the young artist. In this painting we can see the artist exchanging a challenging look with his patron. An intimate view in a suspended moment in time, the great Italian master is here just a young sick boy who's striving to succeed with his artistic talent. The eyes are the main focus of the painting in the attempt to capture the personality and emotions of the young sitter, in this case a young actor from the film by Derek Jarman.
