Dublin's National Gallery of Ireland holds 2 works by Caravaggio (1571–1610) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.
Caravaggio's dramatic chiaroscuro — figures emerging from deep shadow, lit as if by a single candle — is an effect that depends on scale, and his canvases are large. Standing in front of a major Caravaggio in Rome feels like an encounter rather than merely a viewing.
