Episode 284 - Caravaggio’s “Martyrdom of St. Ursula”
Rebuilding The Renaissance - A podcast by Rocky Ruggiero - Wednesdays
Located in the Palazzo Zevallos Stigliano in Naples, Caravaggio’s “Martyrdom of St. Ursula” is considered the great artist’s last painting. Depicting the moment when St. Ursula is shot at close range by an arrow and including a self-portrait of the artist in the background, the painting marks a return to Caravaggio’s earlier Roman style.
