The Death of the Virgin (c. 1605-1606), 369 x 245 cm, oil on canvas, held at the Musée du Louvre in Paris. Caravaggio (1571-1610) is Italy's most representative Baroque painter. He abandoned idealistic classical perfection and realism, emphasizing simple, vivid scenes from daily life. Through strong contrasts of light and shadow, within a rigorous organizational structure, he displayed powerful spirit, shocking traditional painting and establishing the evolutionary context of European painting. In this intense drama, the Virgin dies, lying diagonally on the bed, surrounded by plain peasants (saints) who provide a clear contrast. The scene is solemn and mournful; the Virgin is no longer sacred and untouchable, but like an ordinary mortal. This seems to reflect Caravaggio's tragic consciousness and rejection of a beautiful world beyond the human realm, facing an irreversible fact. Under his powerful simplified forms and raking light, three-dimensional, dark, and obscure emotional tones emerge. With rigorous composition, it exudes a dramatic atmosphere, displaying the religious sentiment of the 17th century. Additionally, another masterpiece by Caravaggio, "The Fortune Teller" (c. 1588-1589), depicts secular daily life. A well-dressed fortune teller reads the palm of a young man dressed elegantly with a feathered hat. Their expressive interaction, conveyed through dialogue, hints at the young man's bright future and destiny.
