Seventh arrondissement A Well-Known Paris Museum Without the Crowds The Musee Rodin is a beautiful paradise in the 7th arrondissement that houses amazing art and architecture, such as "The Thinker" (shown), The Gates of Hell, and The Kiss. It was created by the French artist Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571–1610). Caravaggio was born in Milan but grew up in Naples where his father was a doctor. He moved to Rome when he was 20 years old. There he met with all the greatest artists of his time, including Raphael and Titian. He died in Naples at the age of 36 after being shot during an argument over a game of cards. Caravaggio's paintings are famous for their dramatic lighting and emotional content. They often show religious subjects but also many other topics such as battles or just ordinary people. His style changed the way people saw art. Before him, art had been used to tell stories about gods and kings. With Caravaggio, it became important again what the people shown in his paintings were thinking or feeling. One of his most famous works is "The Fortune-Teller". It shows a woman looking into a mirror while a man waits outside her house for her to finish talking with her future husband inside.
