The title is "Out of light", "adjust" and "share" are just buttons picked up by the title-izer. Lol.

The Taking of Christ is absolutely stunning. The way light reflects off the dark armor is incredible.

The ArtHoles podcast did a series on Caravaggio. Every time you think the story can’t get any crazier, it redoubles its craziness. There’s the plague, murders, prostitutes, corrupt cardinals, papal pardons, deadly duels, Maltese knights and, oh, some of the best artwork in history. What a (short) life he lived!
