EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a still from Derek Jarman's masterpiece, "Caravaggio" (1986), showcasing the director's unique vision and artistic brilliance. The image transports us to a world of ritual and mystery, where masks conceal secrets and feasts unfold in vibrant hues of red. Jarman's film delves into the life of Italian painter Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, known for his revolutionary use of light and shadow. This still encapsulates the essence of Caravaggio's artistry while also reflecting Jarman's own creative genius. The composition is both visually stunning and thought-provoking, inviting viewers to contemplate themes such as identity, illusion, and self-expression. The presence of masks adds an intriguing layer to this image. Masks have long been associated with transformation and disguise; they allow individuals to adopt different personas or explore hidden aspects of themselves. Here, they symbolize the duality inherent in Caravaggio’s work – his ability to simultaneously reveal truth through artifice. The feast depicted in this still evokes a sense of opulence and indulgence. It serves as a metaphorical banquet for our senses - an invitation to immerse ourselves fully in the rich tapestry that is cinema. Through bold strokes of color and meticulous attention to detail, Jarman invites us on a visual journey that transcends time. BFI Stills Posters & Designs has expertly captured this moment from "Caravaggio" preserving its beauty for all cinephiles to appreciate
