Caravaggio Was the Other Michelangelo of the Renaissance

Both artists were named after the archangel Michael, who cast out the rebel spirits from Heaven. Michelangelo typified the archangel’s immaculate tendency, a model for all artists to follow. Caravaggio tended to the saint’s violent strain, a virtuosic painter, but no angel.
