Today we will be delving into the beautiful artwork of Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, an extraordinary Italian painter that got his name by shedding a light on religion through large-scale, intense realism. For this podcast, we will be zeroing in on his Conversion of St. Paul piece, a painting illustrating a horse and two men in battle, it reminds me somewhat of the Creation of Adam portrait by Michelangelo, only with more of a violent tone. However, Jacob Burckhardt, Benard Berenson, and Rudolf Wittkower have a different take on what the painting may mean. Our goal is that by analyzing this painting and picking out certain points of symbolism we can eventually declare which writer is correct in their interpretation of the painting. How does that sound?

Cezanne made painting after painting of Mont-Sainte-Victoire, often from exactly the same spot. For the duration of Cezanne’s career, after his adoption of impressionism, he has made countless paintings of Mont Saint Victoire and have displayed an evolution of his style, transitioning from impressionism to post-impressionist (and nearly the beginning of cubism). The mountain was his motif as he consciously cultivated his association with the mountain and possibly may have wanted to be documented painting it.
