Caravaggio

The influences for
The Artist as her Mother and Father
The Artist as Her Mother when she started losing blood and
The Artist as her Mother when we were both close to death

Pictured are works by Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571-1610)
The Martyrdom of Saint Ursula (1610)
Adoration by the Sheperds (1609)
The Death of the Virgin (1605-06)
Sleeping Cupid (c. 1608) and
Mary Magdalen in Ecstasy (1606)

the naming convention of my work also came from Caravaggio's "The Artist as the Sick Bacchus"
