TITLE: PAINTING - Calling of St Matthew - BAROQUE PERIOD IN ITALY

DESCRIPTION: CARAVAGGIO - Christ w subtle halo; Peter in front of Christ represents church. Diag light and fingers all pointing to Matthew, a self indulgent tax collector counting money surrounded by dandies/foppish youths. Christ says "I want you." Very tenebristic.
