The National Gallery will be putting on a special display about Caravaggio's The Martyrdom of Saint Ursula.
Some of Caravaggio's most striking works were made during his final few years and made use of dramatic lighting, tightly cropped scenes, and uncompromising models with dirty feet and fingernails.
Few paintings are better placed to tell the story of these final tumultuous years than his last-known work, The Martyrdom of Saint Ursula - started just two months before his mysterious death.
Viewers get to see the violence at uncomfortably close quarters, as Caravaggio's own self portrait looks on, helpless.
This is your chance to see the painting in London for the first time in 20 years, alongside a letter that describes its creation.
