 [caption id="" align="alignleft" width="154" caption="Caravaggio"][/caption]Four hundred years after his death, Caravaggio is a 21st Century superstar among old master painters. His stark, dramatically lit, super-realistic paintings strike a modern chord - but his police record is more shocking than any modern bad boy rock star's. An exhibition of documents at Rome's State Archives throws vivid light on his tumultuous life here at the end of the 16th and the beginning of the 17th centuries. Schreibt David Willey für die BBC. Nur wenige Bilder sind auf der Seite des Staatsarchivs in Rom online.
