Episode 272 - Caravaggio’s “David with the Head of Goliath”
Rebuilding The Renaissance - A podcast by Rocky Ruggiero - Wednesdays
Painted shortly after Caravaggio killed a man in Rome and was a fugitive from justice, the “David with the Head of Goliath” is today located in the Borghese Gallery in Rome, Italy. The painting was given to Cardinal Scipione Borghese in hopes that he could convince his uncle, Pope Paul V, to pardon Caravaggio who was wanted dead or alive.
