Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Caravaggio is considered the most significant of the Roman Baroque painters for his use of intense chiaroscuro (light and dark) and dramatic realism in his paintings. His work had a profound influence on the development of Baroque art in Italy and throughout Europe. While Michelangelo, Raphael, and Rubens were all important artists of the Renaissance and Baroque periods, they are not specifically associated with the Roman Baroque style in the same way that Caravaggio is.
