Caravaggio	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Caravaggio is a 1986 film directed by Derek Jarman.It's a biopic of Michelangelo Caravaggio, the famous Italian painter of the late 16th and early 17th centuries. The film gives a rather impressionistic version of his life, showing various scenes and moods rather than following a standard cradle-to-grave biopic format. We see Caravaggio as a teenage hustler who is both painting and seemingly working as a prostitute servicing older men. He comes under the patronage of Cardinal Del Monte (Michael Gough), who takes a professional and probably sexual interest in the young artist.Cut to Caravaggio as a grown man, played by Nigel Terry. He has become a prominent artist who continues to lead a wild personal life. Into that life enter Ranuccio (Sean Bean), a street fighter, and his girlfriend, a prostitute named Lena (Tilda Swinton). Both Ranuccio and Lena become models for Caravaggio, and romantic jealousies rise up between all three.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Film debuts for both Tilda Swinton and Sean Bean. Robbie Coltrane plays Scipione Borghese, a cardinal who gets the hots for Lena.

Caravaggio / int_259d5879	comment	Anachronism Stew: The real Caravaggio had a habit of putting anachronistic stuff in his portraits of Bible scenes. The film does that too. So the movie has stuff like electric lights, the sound of a steam train, and a character using a typewriter.

Caravaggio / int_9710c9a7	comment	Biopic: Of the Very Loosely Based on a True Story sort. Caravaggio is known to have killed a man named Ranuccio in 1606, which required him to leave Rome to avoid arrest; the circumstances are unclear but there's some evidence that the quarrel was over a gambling debt. There is a passing reference in court documents to a girl named Lena who modeled for him. invokedWord of God says the movie shows Caravaggio dying of lead poisoning, although what's portrayed could be any sort of fever. In Real Life the nature of Caravaggio's death has never been firmly established. Theories include fever, lead poisoning, syphillis, and murder.
