| Abstract: | Caravaggio was a bit short tempered and his aggressive character led him into various troubles. He fled Rome for Naples in 1606 as he was charged with murder, and a few months later, in 1607, he came to Malta. He felt safer here, far from the Roman authorities who wanted him arrested. While in Malta he was made a Knight of the Order of St John and he had a number of friends on the island. One of the works that Caravaggio painted during his stay in Malta was the portrait of Grandmaster Alof de Wignacourt. Today this painting can be seen at the Louvre Museum in Paris. |
