Wanted to show the kids some chiaroscuro for their art class about light and dark tomorrow and ran through some of the all time greats from Caravaggio. They were particularly impressed by Holofernes being beheaded.

Always stunning to see how good these paintings are and a bit sad for how long it’s been since I saw one for real. But Sanssouci has the picture of Doubting Thomas so that can be fixed.
