Brava, Mechtild!! What a won-der-ful new art manip! No wonder it’s such a luscious feast for the eyes, being composed in a most sensuous way from the two top-notch ingredients Caravaggio and Film-Frodo. :-) Thank you so much for this.
Your comments on Caravaggio’s life were also super interesting. He must really have led a most passionate, dramatic, wild life. Shame that he died at only 38. What fantastic art had he created if he had had more time! The Wikipedia article shows a portrait sketch of Master Caravaggio and I find it bears a striking resemblance to the late British actor Oliver Reed (played one of the Musketeers, for example), who was also said to have been a wild man (regarding drinking and fighting; he wasn’t involved in any capital crime though). It's unbelievable that an outstanding artist like Caravaggio was forgotten for 400 years!
