The NY Times review noted: "''THE AGE OF CARAVAGGIO'' at the Metropolitan Museum of Art is on every count a most remarkable achievement. It has great paintings. It has paintings which, though not so great, have something irreplaceable to tell us. It has a schema, an argument and an armature. It brings instruction, it brings delight, and it also brings a terror that is all too topical. What more can we ask? It is the particularity of Caravaggio that within a period of 15 years or less - from 1595 to his death in 1610 - he turned painting around. There was painting before him, and painting after him, and no one can confuse the two. He brought to painting a new dynamic, a new and terrible ferocity of representation, and a readiness to face areas of the psyche that had previously been off limits. He did this primarily in Rome, then the unquestioned center of the international art world, but he also did it in Sicily, and in Malta, at a time when he was on the run from justice". .
