       | He's one of my favorite painters. Such depth and emotion. It's so
       | fun to know more about how awful an actual person he was. Super
       | cool that all of this information is still accessible 400 years
       | later.

         | There is a decent film by Derik Jarman, Caravaggio (1986) with
         | Sean Bean and Tilda Swinton.
