THE SUNSET WHICH CARAVAGGIO USED TO SEE Painting

THE SUNSET WHICH CARAVAGGIO USED TO SEE is a sunset creation of Malta. The question is, "but what does Caravaggio has to do with all this?" Interestingly, in the 17th century, Caravaggio despite having achieved tremendous success in Rome and Naples, he spent a substantial period of time in the country of Malta. Caravaggio led a tumultuous life, and the circumstances which led him to the island of Malta were directly linked with this. Even though the circumstances of a brawl, and the killing of a young man (Ranuccio Tomassoni) remain mysterious, on 29 May 1606, Caravaggio is known to have caused his death, possibly unintentionally. After a few months from this episode, he left for Malta, which at the time was the headquarters of the Knights of Malta. Caravaggio, presumably hoped that the patronage of Alof de Wignacourt, Grand Master of the Knights, could help him secure a pardon for Tomassoni's death back in Italy. Having lived for a number of years in Malta, where he painted some of his major works, namely a huge Beheading of Saint John the Baptist (the only painting to which he put his signature), he had surely witnessed the most beautiful, and impressive sunsets that take place in this jewel of the Mediterranean Sea.
