Caravaggio comes to National Gallery

Ottawa's National Gallery is set to thrill art audiences this summer with the rare chance to see the paintings of Italian master Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio.

The painter gained attention in 1600 by painting with bold realism, dramatic lighting and a sensitivity to his subjects.

Caravaggio was the subject of the 1986 art-film by gay film director Derek Jarman.
