Have you ever read the Song of Songs? It is a singular and captivating text that is part of the Bible, a literary jewel that has puzzled and fascinated theologians, poets, and artists for centuries.

Art is driven by ruptures. And if there is one name that embodies the radical break at the end of the 16th century, it is Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio.
