""Caravaggio is unquestionably one of the greats but I think he has been ill-served by previous films that have focused on and exaggerated his nocturnal activities in Rome to the detriment of understanding just who he was in reality and what lies at the heart of his practice and output.""
""The cinema reaction so far has been tremendous-it's our second most popular film after Vermeer-and we recently won the audience award at the prestigious Master of Art festival.""
The documentary on Caravaggio, part of the Exhibition on Screen series, premieres on Marquee TV. It combines expert commentary, painting analysis, and dramatized sequences to delve into the Baroque master's life and work. Directed by Phil Grabsky and David Bickerstaff, the film is based on five years of research and international travel. Grabsky emphasizes that previous portrayals have exaggerated Caravaggio's tumultuous personal life, overshadowing his artistic contributions. The film has received positive audience reactions and won an award at the Master of Art festival.
