Our colleagues over at 02 blog told us about this amazing exhibition called Caravaggio a Milano or Caravaggio in Milan on display at Palazzo Marino in Milan until 14th December.
Actually this exhibition consists of only one painting, The Conversion of Saint Paul, which belongs to the noble Odelscalchi family and therefore less well known than other works by the same painter.

The Conversion of Saint Paul was painted on cypress wood in 1601 and according to many critics the work was crucial to Caravaggio’s artistic growth.

The Conversation was commissioned by the powerful Cardinal Tiberio Cerasi for Santa Maria del Popolo in Rome, but after the cardinal’s death the painting rather mysteriously ended up in Spain and only a century later the work was bought by the Balbi Family from Genoa who years later bequeathed it to a member of the noble and rich Odescalchi family.
Caravaggio in Milan – Palazzo Marino – MilanAfter restoration the painting along with the other Cravaggio on the same subject but on canvas was put on display in Rome in 2006, but it’s in Milan that visitors, for the first time, will have the opportunity to have a closer look at The Conversion of Saint Paul and its wooden panel.
