Caravaggio was the first incarnation of a favourite myth of art: the violent outsider who bursts the conventions and suddenly changes the language. His life is one of the most colourful in the history of art - and he was often painting on the run.
Robert Hughes recreates the lonely and violent life and death of Caravaggio through his art. Written and narrated by ROBERT HUGHES
