Caravaggio's paintings in the Contarelli Chapel, San Luigi dei Francesi
The Contarelli Chapel in San Luigi dei Francesi in Rome contains three paintings by Caravaggio on the subject of St. Matthew - The Calling of St. Matthew, The Inspiration of St. Matthew and The Martyrdom of St. Matthew (all 1599-1600). We recorded this in Rome, in the chapel. For an additional video that focuses only on the painting of The Calling of St. Matthew, click here.
