Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio is an Italian painter that worked through the Renaissance and Baroque period. His notable works include Bacchus, painted in 1595 and The Calling of St. Matthew, 1600. However, Caravaggio's career consisted of many paintings and many are displayed throughout the world.
There are no pictures available to see. A comparison is not possible without the required pictures to look at.
His works are mainly oil on canvas, so he likely used oil paints and a brush to create them, as well as a sketch in pencil before he painted. In his pieces of art featuring people, he used real people to model what he was going to paint.
He started his work in around 1590 and since he died in 1610 he only had 20 years to paint, which is not a very long time. It has been said that he only did around 58 paintings. Other artists who are remembered as more prolific than Caravaggio often had longer careers.
