caravaggista: Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio died on this day, July 18, 1610 in Porto Ercole. Nature, who feared to be surpassedIn every image that you madeHas, Michele, now, in league with Death,A cruel plot against you laid;For Death with indignation burnedTo know that many as his scythe Cut down, still more and usurously Your brush contrived to make alive. — Giambattista Marino (1569 - 1625) -- source link
