More from Caravaggio
"He would not make so much as a single brushstroke without having the model before him."
"I paint what I feel, not what I think."
"He would not suffer any criticism of his work."
"One must paint what one sees, not what one imagines."
"All works, no matter what or by whom painted, are nothing but bagatelles and childish trifles... unless they are made and painted from life, and there can be nothing... better than to follow nature."
