Episode 285 – The Death of Caravaggio

July 3, 2024

In the summer of 1610, allegedly after obtaining a papal pardon for his crime of murder, Caravaggio headed back to Rome. But he would never make it to Rome nor enjoy his reacquired freedom. Instead, he would die under rather mysterious circumstances in southern Tuscany. This podcast explores the murky evidence and various conspiracy theories surrounding the artist’s death.
