Description

Description

In 1604, Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio was at the height of his fame as a painter and a troublemaker. His bold works were captivating audiences in Rome, but his own life was a tangled web of artistic genius and street-smart cunning.

The arrival of Lena Antognetti, a prostitute modeling for his latest Virgin pictures, sets off a chain reaction that propels Caravaggio into the spotlight. As he paints her into a life of wealth and celebrity, their provocative fame attracts a horde of resentful enemies.

This gripping portrait of a superstar's psychological unraveling under the pressures of the Catholic Reformation is a story of love, power, and the blurred lines between art and reality.
