Matthias Stom, a Flemish painter active in Sicily in the first half of the 17th century, is among the most interesting followers of Caravaggio. The exhibition brings together some of his masterpieces from the Museo Civico di Castello Ursino in Catania and the Musei Civici di Genoa. Among the paintings on display, 'Tobiolo che guarisce il padre cieco' and 'La morte di Catone' stand out, examples of his dramatic rendering of light and Caravaggesque realism. The exhibition is hosted in the halls of Palazzo degli Elefanti, seat of the Municipality of Catania.
