Great Art Wednesday: Caravaggio

Description

Five years in production, this is the most extensive film ever made about one of the greatest artists of all time – Caravaggio. Featuring masterpiece after masterpiece and with first-hand testimony from the artist himself on the eve of his mysterious disappearance, this beautiful new film reveals Caravaggio as never before.

Back by popular demand, Great Art Wednesday returns to Middlebury’s Town Hall Theater – featuring filmed tours of major art exhibitions around the world. The 2025-2026 six-film series launches on October 15 and continues through May.

“This series has been a really enjoyable part of our educational mission,” says THT Executive & Artistic Director Lisa Mitchell. “The films are absolutely gorgeous, and the camera moves in to give you close-up views of the art, the kind of thing you’d never get in a crowded museum.”
