Paris's Louvre Museum 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.
Louvre Museum
Paris · 2 works on display
The world's largest art museum, home to over 35,000 works from antiquity to the 19th century, housed in a former royal palace on the Seine. Allow at least half a day; the Denon Wing holds most of the painting masterpieces.
Planning your visit to Paris
Pre-book entry to the Louvre and Musée d'Orsay, especially in summer — queues without a ticket can exceed an hour. Many Paris museums offer free entry on the first Sunday of each month. A day transport pass (carnet) is better value than buying individual Métro tickets.
