Polidoro Caldara was known as Polidoro da Caravaggio and was an Italian Mannerist painter from the Renaissance period, arguably the most gifted and certainly the least conventional of Raphael's pupils. Caravaggio's Saint John the Baptist illustrates the artist's stunning capability of combining photorealism that was unparalleled in the early 17th century. This evocative Mixed-Media tableau would be a splendid addition to any interior design project. Further, Art Chateau has set a new benchmark for the World's Finest Classical Reproductions.
