Late And Great Caravaggio

One of a handful of Caravaggio paintings in the United States, the late and great “The Crucifixion Of Saint Andrew” is owned by the Cleveland Museum Of Art, which Joshua and I visited over Memorial Day Weekend.

“The Crucifixion Of Saint Andrew” is a bewitching work of art. Josh and I spent two consecutive days at the Cleveland Museum Of Art, remaining at the museum from open to close on both days, and we spent twenty minutes before this great and fascinating painting during both visits.
