Caravaggio painted Medusa twice to explore different aspects of the mythological figure and the themes of violence and beauty. The first version, created in 1597, features a decapitated Medusa captured in a moment of rage and anguish, serving as a powerful representation of fear and the human psyche. The second version, painted later, presents a more stylized and serene depiction, highlighting the contrast between Horror and aesthetic appeal. These variations allowed Caravaggio to delve deeper into the complexity of human emotions and the nature of art itself.
Leonardo da Vinci did not create a painting titled "Medusa." The artwork often associated with that name is actually a piece by Caravaggio, titled "Medusa," painted in 1597. Leonardo, however, is known for his iconic works such as the "Mona Lisa" and "The Last Supper." If you meant a different artwork or context related to Medusa, please clarify!
Caravaggio didn't paint by the rules. Instead he painted from real life, taking models from the streets - scandalous at the time. He also used light and dark lighting effects, called chiaroscuro.
It was painted in 1568 and was finished completly in 1600.
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.
