On May 29, 1606, Caravaggio killed a man on Via della Scrofa in Rome. Wanted for murder, he immediately fled the city and spent the last four years of his life as a fugitive from justice. He went first to Naples, then to Malta, Sicily, and back to Naples again. While making his way back to Rome in 1610 after receiving a papal pardon from Pope Paul V, Caravaggio died from unknown causes. This Join Dr. Rocky for this webinar where he will examine the works that Caravaggio produced during this tumultuous period in his life as well as the murky details surrounding the mysterious death of the artist.
