Step into the world of Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, the revolutionary Baroque painter who forever changed the course of sacred art. In celebration of the 2025 Jubilee Year, the Barberini Palace in Rome is hosting an unprecedented exhibition of 24 of Caravaggio’s masterpieces—including rarely seen and newly rediscovered works like Ecce Homo and Portrait of Maffeo Barberini.

Top Caravaggio experts—Maria Cristina Terzaghi, Thomas Clément Salomon, and Francesca Cappelletti—guide us through the artist’s dramatic life and enduring influence. From early Roman workshop pieces like Boy Peeling Fruit to emotionally charged scenes like The Taking of Christ, this exhibition reveals how Caravaggio captured divine mystery through human realism, raw emotion, and powerful chiaroscuro.
This video explores why this extraordinary show may not be repeated for decades, and how it reflects the deep spiritual longing at the heart of both Caravaggio’s art and the Jubilee pilgrimage.

Don’t miss this deep dive into beauty, faith, and the genius of one of Catholicism’s most compelling artists.
