The violent temperament Caravaggio produces in several of his pieces creates a distressing outlook into the murderous fantasies and state of mind he had, the haunting image of a man being beheaded in his bed and the decapitated head of the mythical creature, Medusa, shows his obsession with death and his fascination with murder.
