A feature-length documentary about Baroque painter Caravaggio, directed by Phil Grabsky and David Bickerstaff, will premiere on the streaming platform Marquee TV on April 6. The film, part of the "Exhibition on Screen" series, was previously released in theaters last fall and focuses on the artist's innovative painting style rather than his notorious personal life.
The documentary's wider digital release makes a significant art historical subject accessible to a broader audience. It represents a growing trend of high-quality, expert-driven art films moving from niche theatrical runs to mainstream streaming platforms, potentially influencing public understanding of Old Master artists.
