Two months later, he was dead, having been disfigured in a brawl and become ill while trying to return from exile to Rome. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Caravaggio is one of the most famous and instantly recognisable artists in the world. His paintings open a vivid and startlingly modern window onto the seventeenth century, while his own turbulent life story, characterised by violence, murder, exile, and untimely death, remains a source of fascination. Few paintings are better placed to tell this story than \u003ci\u003eThe Martyrdom of Saint Ursula\u003c\/i\u003e. Here, violence takes place at uncomfortably close quarters as Caravaggio, whose own self portrait is included, looks on helplessly. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Published by National Gallery Global\/Distributed by Yale University Press \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eNational Gallery, London\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e (April 18-July 14, 2024).
