In this month of the 400th anniversary of the death of Caravaggio (Michelangelo Merisi), watch this beautiful documentary on his life, on Milan and Rome in the late 16th and early 17th centuries, and on one of his masterpieces, The Taking of Christ - in five parts.
The Taking of Christ belongs to the Society of Jesus in Ireland, in whose Dublin house it was rediscovered in the early 1990s, and is currently housed in the National Gallery of Ireland.
[Update: Father Finigan has thankfully placed the entire documentary in a continuous playlist: Click here, or watch in in five separate parts below.]
