THE AURA OF LIFE : UNVEILING THE CINEMATIC ART OF CARAVAGGIO In July 1607, Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio arrived in Malta, a fugitive from the papal state, and, in the 15 months he was here, he created monumental works which are breath-taking in their scope and imagination. Here, REBECCA ANASTASI speaks to PROF. KEITH SCIBERRAS, from the Department of Art History at the University of Malta, and the island’s resident expert on the artist, to discover what makes Caravaggio’s works revolutionary.
