The season finale of Season 2! We’re wrapping up this season with one of the biggest names in art history. Back in the 16th century, Italian master Carravagio was dabbling in a lot more than oil paints and chiaroscuro. His rap sheet includes gambling, theft, and even murder! In between creating his devastating and beautiful masterpieces, this scrappy artist lived a hardboiled life of crime. On this week’s episode, we discuss his lesser-known felonious legacy.

Hosts Sara Estes and Veronica Kavass discuss heists, forgeries and all sorts of art crimes.
