About
In this 10-minute snapshot, Francesca Whitlum-Cooper, curator of 'The Last Caravaggio', will discuss the artist and his characteristic style of cropped scenes and dramatic lighting.
Francesca will give an overview of the story of Saint Ursula and explore the lasting impact of Caravaggio’s paintings.
Due to the popularity of this show, this short introduction will now take place in Room 45 and not in the exhibition. If you wish to view the exhibition before or after the talk, please join the queue in the Annenberg Court.
