According to the New Yok times and Philip Sohm, an art historian at the University of Toronto, Caravaggio has surpassed Michelangelo in popularity and this has not only been proved by a spate of essays and writings which have recently been dedicated to him and his art, but also by the turnout of people who every year visit art-exhibitions and museums in which his works are on display! This, of course, doesn’t mean that Michelangelo has gone down the memory hole (his popularity is still running high), but to people Caravaggio, with all his contradictions, faults and antiheroes, looks far more real and convincing – his art does know how to reach out and touch people.
