An ORF production in cooperation with WDR (West German Broadcasting) 2019<\/p>\n

An angel falls from heaven. The baby is lying on the bare floor. His mother sits before him. She seems weak, weary, resigned to her fate. The men stand around her. All of them are looking at the child, and even the ox pushes forward. Only the man at her side does not look at the baby; he turns away, questioning?<\/em><\/p>\n

The stolen Caravaggio:<\/em> La Nativit\u00e0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The woman is young. The man at her side seems much older. His hair is nearly white. Or is this an effect of the light falling on him from above? Caravaggio\u2019s famous light. He introduced this radiance to the art of painting. <\/em>La Luce del Vero, the light of truth. <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cThe Caravaggio Mystery\u201d <\/strong>begins on a stormy night in Palermo in October 1969. The altarpiece of the Oratorio di San Lorenzo depicting Christ\u2019s birth, painted by Caravaggio, has disappeared. Like the famous chiaroscuro technique in his painting, Carravaggio\u2019s life was marked by light and shadow, and so this brazen art theft befits the artist\u2019s dramatic biography.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ayoub\u2019s drama combines the story of the theft and the subsequent intensive and often dramatic investigation into the crime with scenes from Caravaggio\u2019s life: his years on the run as a murderer fleeing from the papal ban, until shortly before his death in Sicily, when he paints one of his most moving pictures: the Nativit\u00e0. <\/em><\/p>\n

For fifty years Interpol has investigated without success. The Caravaggio painting never turns up. Has it been cut to pieces and taken abroad, hidden in a pigsty, or destroyed?<\/p>\n

Is it hanging in the living room of a secret art lover? Was it buried with a Mafia boss? According to the Sicilian Mafia expert Maria Teresa Galluzzo, who guides us through the play, only one thing is certain: the Mafia organized the theft. No one else could have carried it out so boldly and flawlessly.<\/p>\n
