In 1576, this man fled with his family to escape a plague, but sadly, his father and grandfather both died on the same day in 1577. So, what does your gut say - artist or serial killer?

Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio was born on September 29, 1571, in Milan, Italy, and became a prolific Italian painter. He remained active in Rome for most of his life, producing beautiful works of art, and traveled between Naples, Malta, and Sicily until his death.
