Caravaggio (1986)
El pintor Michelangelo Merisi, nacido en Caravaggio, se está muriendo lejos de su hogar. En el lecho de muerte recuerda los comienzos de su vida como pintor. El niño Michelangelo dejó su Caravaggio natal al quedar huérfano, y se traslada a Milán, donde se inicia como pintor en diferentes talleres, hasta que establece un taller propio, en la Roma de los Papas, ganándose el favor de la Iglesia, que le encarga numerosas obras. Llegan entonces la fama, el dinero, sus amores homosexuales, las intrigas políticas y religiosas, la envidia y el crimen.
