概要

The very first episode of The Bigger Picture takes a closer look at Caravaggio's famous early painting called Medusa, painted in 1597. The work which was commissioned by Cardinal del Monte as a gift for Ferdinando I de Medici of Florence is a captivating image of a mythological monster with Caravaggio's own face. Referring to Jungian concept of 'Individuation', and Josef Kroutvor's theory of 'authentic portrait', I will read Caravaggio's painting as the author's attempt to reconcile the two sides of his own personality - his public image of a successful young artist who enjoys the patronage of Rome's elite circles, and an unpredictable temperament rebel balancing atodds with the law.
