Christ In Caravaggio

Caravaggio's Christ at the column (1607).

Speaking of Christ, this painting reminded me of when I first saw Michelangelo's fresco at the Sistene Chapel. As you walked in you had a sense you were about to witness something magical and as you looked up towards the sky (or God), its magnificence overwhelms you; its beauty strikes your eyes like an angel entering your soul.
