  1. Caravaggio's 'Burst Of Light' At Atheneum

    The fame and influence of Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571-1610) is a result of two circumstances: his talent and his life in Rome during the Catholic Counter-Reformation. These factors determined his destiny as the greatest painter of religious subjects when the Vatican was fighting back against Protestantism.

  3. Caravaggio and His Legacy on Display at the Wadsworth in Hartford

    Artists are often short-tempered brawlers. Caravaggio (1571-1610), whose legacy comes into focus for the first time in a quarter-century when <em>Burst of Light</em> opens at the Wadsworth, fought quite a bit; he's said to have traveled around with an armed servant, and even reputedly killed a young man in 1606, necessitating a hasty retreat to Rome (the Pope put a bounty on his head). Caravaggio's art, meanwhile, contrasts light and dark, without much in between. <em>Burst of Light</em> also showcases roughly 30 works by members of the "Caravaggisti," including Gentileschi, Ribera, Zurbar&aacute;n (his <em>Saint Serapion</em>, from 1628, is pictured above) and Sweerts. The exhibit ends June 16.

  7. 'A Joint Venture' At NBMAA

    Kay and Tom Cox were interested in art before they were interested in each other. Tom, who had been stationed in Southeast Asia in the military, collected 14th- to 16th-century Thai porcelain. Kay had bought some watercolors of Bermuda, painted on the spot by Alfred Birdseye. "They were only $25 each," Kay Cox said. "I didn't know much about art but I loved Bermuda and I loved what he was doing."

  10. Artist Deb Sokolow Will Speak at the Opening of Her New Reception at the Wadsworth in Hartford

    Chicago artist Deb Sokolow apparently didn't get enough of that whole "election" thing a few months ago. <em>Some Concerns About the Candidate</em>, Sokolow's new MATRIX exhibit at the Wadsworth, tells the story of a fictional congress wannabee &mdash; named Jim Jones, nicely, and based on the People's Temple cult leader &mdash; filtered through the handwritten journal entries of a campaign worker, who becomes increasingly concerned with his unorthodox vote-winning tactics. But hey, politics and humor go well together, and both seem right at home in a MATRIX exhibit. Head to the opening at the museum's First Thursday event, where Sokolow will give a gallery talk at 6 p.m., Mikata will do their world-music thing and Joe Young will draw some cartoons. (Sounds oddly similar to my actual election night.)
