Throughout Derek Jarman's film Caravaggio (1986 film), many of Caravaggio's paintings are recreated in tableau vivant to explore their relationship to his life. The 1991 film My Own Private Idaho presents its sex scenes using the effect. The 2013 film, A Field in England, [15] makes use of the effect to add to the general occult look of the film.
The Cardsharps (painted around 1594) is a painting by the Italian Baroque artist Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio. The original is generally agreed to be the work acquired by the Kimbell Art Museum in 1987, although Caravaggio may have painted more than one version.
Caravaggio was sentenced to beheading for murder, and an open bounty was decreed, enabling anyone who recognized him to carry out the sentence legally. Caravaggio's paintings began, obsessively, to depict severed heads, often his own, at this time. Good modern accounts are to be found in Peter Robb's M and Helen Langdon's Caravaggio: A Life.
The first versions of the paintings were obviously acquired by Giacomo Sannesio, secretary of the Sacra Consulta and an avid collector of art. Caravaggio's biographer, Giulio Mancini mentioned these paintings being in the collection of Cardinal Sannesio around 1620 but he thought them retouched copies of the originals.
