Milan's Diocese Museum is hosting The Eyes of Caravaggio.

MILAN, ITALY, March 18, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- A new exhibition has recently opened at the Diocese Museum in Milan entitled The Eyes of Caravaggio, which explores the famous Italian painter's formative years.

The show runs until July 3rd 2011 and gives an idea of how Caravaggio - real name Michelangelo Merisi - formulated his distinctive style.

By exploring the work of his predecessors and contemporaries, as well as his own pieces, the organisers demonstrate his progression into one of the most talked-about artists of all time.

More than 60 paintings are being showcased and a host of contextual information will be shared.

From historical plans of the cities in which he lived, to rare documents relating to the 16th century artist's life, the collection will give visitors real insight into his career.

Caravaggio trained as a painter in Milan and his paintings have gone on to garner huge acclaim for their use of the artistic technique 'chiaroscuro'.

Tickets are priced at EUR12 (GBP10.40), with the exhibition open from Tuesday to Sunday between 10:00 and 18:00 local time.
