About This Tour
Step into the dramatic world of Caravaggio on this 2-hour private tour, where his masterpieces come to life in the very churches that inspired them. Visit Santa Maria del Popolo, Sant’Agostino, and San Luigi dei Francesi to witness Caravaggio’s bold use of light and raw emotion as you stand before The Crucifixion of Saint Peter and The Madonna of the Pilgrims. Along the way, uncover the genius and scandalous life behind the art, from duels to exile. For an even deeper dive into the Baroque era, can you choose to extend your tour with a 1-hour visit to Galleria Doria Pamphilj, where you will see two more of Caravaggio’s masterpieces among other masterpieces from artists as Velázquez, Titian, and Bernini.
