In the Winter of 2006,
Fabio recreated this painting of Caravaggio |
||
Lost Caravaggio is a recreation of the artist’s first version of “St. Matthew and the Angel”. The painting was commissioned in 1602 for the Contarelli Chapel in the San Luigi dei Francesi Church in Rome but rejected for possessing “neither the decorum nor the appearance of a saint.” It later ended up in Berlin’s Kaiser Friedrich Museum. It was destroyed in the bombing of 1945 and is now known only in black and white photographs.
D’Aroma decided to become a painter after
seeing Caravaggio paintings as a child. |
