A comic about Caravaggio and his influence on Northern painters
Álvaro Ortiz brings to life Gerard van Honthorst and Dirck van Baburen, two of the many Dutch painters who left their native Holland for Rome in the early seventeenth century. Both painters travelled to Naples
to view the altarpieces of the famous Caravaggio, who had died a few years before. Ortiz takes the opportunity to unpack some of the urban legends about the Italian artist. A joint publication with the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum.
