In this man's David with the Head of Goliath, Goliath is probably modeled after the artist himself. Constantly plagued by invisible "enemies," this artist's exploits include throwing a plate of artichokes into the face of a waiter. Committing murder forced him to go to Malta, where he painted the Beheading of Saint John the Baptist. In his The Cardsharps, a naïve boy is unaware that his opponent is removing extra cards from his belt, and his Death of the Virgin offended the Carmelites because he used a prostitute as a model. FTP, name this violent Italian Baroque artist who also painted a Calling of St. Matthew in which a ray of light illuminates the saint as Jesus points to him.          |
