Five years in production, Exhibition on Screen: Caravaggio is the most extensive film ever made about one of the greatest artists of all time – Caravaggio.

Featuring masterpiece after masterpiece and with first-hand testimony from the artist himself on the eve of his mysterious disappearance, this beautiful new film reveals Caravaggio as never before.

Multi-award-winning filmmakers David Bickerstaff and Phil Grabsky delve into the hidden narratives of Caravaggio’s life, piecing together clues embedded within his incredible art.

Caravaggio’s masterpieces are some of art’s most instantly recognisable. No one else uses his signature blend of dramatic light, intense naturalism and bold, striking figures.

His incredible paintings have captivated audiences for centuries. But there lies a deeper mystery — one that still beckons us to explore.
