in part 2 caravaggio arrives in Rome and paints some pics. his employers were shitty (one of them had him painting flowers and fruits which in the artistic world back then was the equivalent of making power point presentations, apparently) and he went out on his own churning out paintings until one of the cardinal-sempais (del Monte) noticed him and saved our boi from poverty.

part 1 is about caravaggio's youth in milan, or its supposed to be about his youth but since the resources are scarce we get to learn more about borromeo and his politics than caravaggio himself.
