More than 400 years after his death, Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio is more popular than ever. Long lines form outside exhibitions of his art, and by one scholar's count, he's been written about more in recent decades than his namesake, Michelangelo Buonarroti.

Two Citrons echoes Caravaggio's innovative style -- all superfluou...
