His work brought a striking naturalism and emotional depth to religious subjects and everyday life. Caravaggio’s innovations inspired a whole generation of painters called the Caravaggisti, several of whom are featured in the exhibition.This is a unique opportunity to see an exceptional selection of works from the collection of Roberto Longhi, the renowned Italian art historian and collector who was instrumental in reviving interest in Caravaggio and his followers.I truly look forward to sharing these astounding artworks with you all on Thursday night during Art After Dark, when we can enjoy free admission to the museum. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/b726a910-e9d7-11f0-8044-391d3a4d551d-rimg-w586-h740-dc191513-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/b75aff80-e9d7-11f0-8044-391d3a4d551d-rimg-w555-h740-dc1a1514-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/b78da840-e9d7-11f0-b419-87afd86b2000-rimg-w666-h740-dcdcdbd2-gmir.jpg Agenda?: 05:15 PM - 05:30 PMWalk from Thrive DTSPInfo: For those of us coming from Thrive, we will gather in the common area at 5PM and head out on foot to the MFA at 5:15PM. ?: 05:30 PM - 06:00 PMCircle Up & Grab a Treat @ Clementine Cafe @ the MFAInfo: Clementine has some of the best coffee and pastries in the city!

As we move into the main exhibition spaces, we will look for variations and interpretations of Caravaggio’s artistic experimentation in the works of other artists throughout the collection. We will also look at contemporary works included in the exhibition, considering how Caravaggio’s legacy—his unflinching realism, psychological intensity, and willingness to confront difficult subjects—continues to shape how artists engage the human body, vulnerability, and mortality today. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/st-petersburg/explore-the-st-pete-art-world-museum-of-fine-arts-edition/100001979518634523 - **Event Categories**: art, exhibitions, fine-arts, performances, theatre, entertainment - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: St. Petersburg - **state**: FL - **country**: United States - **location**: Museum of Fine Arts - **lat**: 27.774421 - **long**: -82.63188400000001 - **full address**: Museum of Fine Arts, 255 Beach Drive Northeast, St. Petersburg, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Explore the St Pete Art World - Museum of Fine Arts Edition - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/ae17b0dd97d1c2cf8c0175e7f1315cd95faccdd223f348fbb5689509a4de176c-rimg-w1200-h1600-dc1c1812-gmir.jpg?v=1767577343 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Explore the St Pete Art World - Museum of Fine Arts Edition being held? - **A:** Explore the St Pete Art World - Museum of Fine Arts Edition takes place on Thu, 08 Jan, 2026 at 05:30 pm to Thu, 08 Jan, 2026 at 07:00 pm at Museum of Fine Arts, 255 Beach Drive Northeast, St. Petersburg, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Explore the St Pete Art World - Museum of Fine Arts Edition? - **A:** Explore the St Pete Art World - Museum of Fine Arts Edition is organized by Jovian Browne. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
