Caravaggio’s bold style hits Charlotte

Caravaggio’s dramatic use of shadow and light, which changed art forever, is coming to the Mint Museum Uptown. The centerpiece, “Boy bitten by a lizard,” is one of fewer than 80 works by the legendary painter, surrounded by masterpieces from artists he inspired. What’s wild is how his 17th-century vision still shapes everything from movies to music videos today—think Scorsese’s gritty scenes or moody album covers. This exhibit is a rare chance to see how one artist’s raw realism keeps echoing through our culture. Who else is excited to see this creative revolution up close? #Entertainment #Painting #CharlotteArts
