Every Friday we take a break from our regular blogging schedule to allow the authors an opportunity to feature a certain topic they are passionate about. Through this and other future posts we hope you’ll enjoy reading, we hope to share with you our personalities, passions, and interests on a more personal level.
As part of our continuing desire to bring beauty into focus, From Texas to Beyond will periodically feature brilliant pieces of art that have influenced our lives. We are excited to showcase these universal works of beauty with you.
As a follow-up to my earlier review of the Kimbell Art Museum, there is one artwork by one artist in particular that I absolutely love: The Cardsharps by Caravaggio.
Discovering Caravaggio
Caravaggio’s creations reignited my love of art. As a child, I always loved art. However, in 8th grade, I quickly learned that others were much more talented than myself. Gradually I lost interest as I realized I would never be a great artist. Or a good artist. Or even a mediocre artist.
What I learned recently is a simple truth: you do not have to be an accomplished artist to appreciate the artwork of others.
