"Dope" Art I have seen- Martyrs of Gorkum


I saw this somewhere in the Vatican. I think it was a Caravaggio piece, but I didn't write it down and I can't find out on the internetz.

Update- This is totally not a Caravaggio work (don't get too krunk in the Vatican, or God makes you forget shit) , but one of Cesare Fracassini and it is called "Martyrs of Gorkum".  That link will take you to the story, but it ends in people getting hung.  Shout out for Tristan for helping me figure out who did this. The googles were just making it hard for me to find.
