[ang] We will analyze Caravaggio's use of light as a symbolic element in his works. Not
having information from Caravaggio himself, it will be through the voices of
contemporary biographers the artist, and with the scholars of his work throughout
history, where
we will analyze the use of light, the symbology they represent his work.
We first address the background, of which we have no significant elements in the light
treatment prior to Caravaggio. Some specific cases of his works will be studied. For
this, it is
also necessary to know the religious context where his work is developed, the
influence or not that the Council of Trent had in addition to the cultural environment in
which it develops. Caravaggio did not create a school, but had his followers and it is
important the influence that his work had for both his contemporaries, as well as artists
from other Italian provinces, as well as in the rest of Europe.
