    Caravaggio Was the Other Michelangelo of the Renaissance

    The haunting pitch of Caravaggio’s work inspired Peter Paul Rubens, Rembrandt, Jacques-Louis David, and Eugène Delacroix. Rembrandt’s The Return of the Prodigal Son, which hangs in the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, is a spare canvas, warmed by the rich crimsons and ochres Caravaggio favored. It draws from the parable in Luke: A father embraces his wayward son, his older brother looking on bitterly—an apt allegory for Caravaggio, naturally impulsive, and Michelangelo, seemingly perfect but racked by self-doubt. 

    The two artists were not related and never met—Caravaggio was born seven years after Michelangelo died—but they shared a city and a name. Once Caravaggio, born Michelangelo Merisi, moved to Rome in 1592, he lived in the shadow of the Michelangelo—Michelangelo Buonarroti. Both were named after the archangel Michael, an angel among angels, who cast out the rebel spirits from Heaven. Michelangelo typified

    Michelangelo

    Italian artist and architect (1475–1564)

    For other uses, see Michelangelo (disambiguation).

    Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni[a] (6 March 1475 – 18 February 1564), known mononymously as Michelangelo,[b][1] was an Italian sculptor, painter, architect,[2] and poet of the High Renaissance. Born in the Republic of Florence, his work was inspired by models from classical antiquity and had a lasting influence on Western art. Michelangelo's creative abilities and mastery in a range of artistic arenas define him as an archetypal Renaissance man, along with his rival and elder contemporary, Leonardo da Vinci.[3] Given the sheer volume of surviving correspondence, sketches, and reminiscences, Michelangelo is one of the best-documented artists of the 16th century. He was lauded by contemporary biographers as the most accomplished artist of his era.[4][5]
