The Survival of Carvaggio

Carvaggio sent this to the pope in an attempt to ask the pope for forgiveness because Carvaggio had killed a man in a duel, maybe in self-defense. He's sending this painting to the pope asking for forgiveness, and he's including his head, his face, on the head of the severed Goliath. Rome declines after that, not declines, it doesn't go worse, but again its progress is far less than Northern Europe. I'll just say, and then God, we still have super check questions. Please make them $20 or more."
