Two months later, he was dead, having been disfigured in a brawl and become ill while trying to return from exile to Rome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCaravaggio is one of the most famous and instantly recognisable artists in the world. His paintings open a vivid and startlingly modern window onto the seventeenth century, while his own turbulent life story, characterised by violence, murder, exile, and untimely death, remains a source of fascination. Few paintings are better placed to tell this story than \u003cem\u003eThe Martyrdom of Saint Ursula\u003c\/em\u003e. Here, violence takes place at uncomfortably close quarters as Caravaggio, whose own self-portrait is included, looks on helplessly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePublished by National Gallery Global and distributed by Yale University Press.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExhibition Schedule:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNational Gallery, London\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e(April 18–July 14, 2024).
