He fled <a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rome\">Rome<\/a> shortly after a price was placed on his head. Painting with the hope his talents might yet again be his savior he began painting <a href=\"https:\/\/caravaggio.org\/david-with-the-head-of-goliath.jsp\">David with the Head of Goliath<\/a>. Unlike many interpretations of the story Caravaggio depicted David directly proceeding his triumph.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The head of Goliath was a self portrait. In a macabre plea for his life he portrayed himself as damned. He would die soon after in a gambling dispute. Shortly before he was granted a pardon. It would not reach him in time.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This painting was an excuse to portray Caravaggio as the tumultuous character his mythos suggests.
