I went on a Caravaggio Quest:

Contarelli Chapel in San Luigi dei Francesi

Salome with the Head of John the Baptist 1607

These are my photos of paintings by Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio. The lighting in many venues was not optimal — with a lot of glare even in person. I did the best I could! I viewed these paintings in the following: in London, The National Gallery, and in Rome, The Borghese Gallery, Palazzo Barberini, Chiesa di San Luigi dei Francesi, Palazzo Doria Pamphilj, The Capitoline Museum, The Basilica of Sant’Agostino, and the Vatican Museums in Vatican City.
