-The Calling of St. Matthew by Caravaggio, Baroque, Seventeenth Century, Rome

-Chiaroscuro, mixes old people with young people, incorporates individual aspects into this painting as Caravaggio used real people as models, fresco on a church wall, developes a unique and personal style of having a very commonplace setting with everyday figures wearing current clothing

-always has a single light source coming from outside the frame, this symbolizes illuminating a world of darkness with the spirit of Christ, furthers the spiritual message

-Christ is very indistinct and he is almost out of the frame, he is only distinguishable by the small non-distinct halo, he is pointing to St. Matthew who looks very surprised, his hand is very similar to Adam in The Creation of Adam by Michelangelo. This connects Christ to Adam which makes sense because as Adam was responsible for the fall of Man, Christ was responsible for human salvation

-St. Matthew looks very surpised as he is summoned by Christ to a higher calling, his face is highlighted by the ray of light, he is pointing to himself in disbelief as if he doesnt believe it,
