„Medusa“ – Caravaggio – Higherself x Artdeparture – Organic Tote-Bag

Painted on a ceremonial shield, not canvas. Commissioned for a Medici.
Caravaggio’s Medusa isn’t about mythology — it’s about spectacle and shock. Her face — his face, some say — caught in the instant of death. Eyes locked. Mouth split. The horror doesn’t fade, because it wasn’t meant to.

Reframed here as the sixth piece in the Higherself x Art Departure series — an image of violence turned icon, beauty laced with fear, and the moment the gaze becomes a weapon.
