Caravaggio lived with common people for a long time.He put the common people image that he saw in the real life on the religion drawing .He emphasized the common humanity of the apostles. His style distinguished from the Classicism .Caravaggio created a new expression means .It was chiaroscuro.He set the picture in darkness and concentrated the main part of the light show. The light and shade contrast intensely in his picture.Chiaroscuro enhanced both three-dimensionality and drama. At that time it was full of religious paintings and historical pictures in the Italian painting world, but Caravaggio drawed a basket of fruit .This confirmed that a simple motif can become one kind of drawing theme.The Naturalism was used, chiaroscuro was a special inventive mind, and still- life picture was drawed boldly .This has Caravaggio's name and his masterpieces written in the art history for ever!...
