About This Issue
This issue explores the inner world of Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio.
Not the legend, but the man.
An artist driven by faith and doubt, violence and mercy, despair and grace.
Through seven carefully selected paintings, this issue follows Caravaggio’s lifelong struggle with guilt, belief, and identity. His figures are not distant saints or heroes. They are human. Wounded. Searching. Lit by moments of sudden truth.
Each artwork has been digitally restored and presented with quiet care, allowing the emotional weight of his work to speak clearly, without distraction.

Why Care?
Caravaggio’s work reminds us that grace does not belong to the worthy, but to the ready.
His figures are chosen not for their roles, their pasts, or their standing, but for a moment of inner turning.
Shaped by the streets and ordinary lives he knew, Caravaggio returns again and again to those on the margins. In The Calling of Saint Matthew and his portrayals of Mary Magdalene, light falls on people still uncertain, still flawed, sometimes looking away.
Christ sees them before they see themselves, and before we ever could.
Caravaggio tells us this through his brush. It is a truth he believed deeply.
