THE LAST CARAVAGGIO

May 1610. Caravaggio is in Naples working on the last painting he'd ever create. Two months later, he died in mysterious circumstances. 

It was during this tumultuous period that Caravaggio made some of his most striking works, and few paintings are better placed to tell the story of Caravaggio’s final years than his last-known work, 'The Martyrdom of Saint Ursula'.

In our Bicentenary year, you’re invited to contemplate this masterpiece in our free exhibition, 'The Last Caravaggio'. Explore the troubled end of Caravaggio's life, the stories of Ursula and Salome, and reflect on violence today.
