I worked for 3 intense weeks to recreate the Caravage’s painting. This project was very special for me because it was about copying an existing image. Usually, when I create a picture, my only aim is to express a concept. So I don't need to look for a physical resemblance, a particular position of a body or a specific lighting. With all these new constraints, I had to be much more demanding on the choice of my base photos than ever. I used 45 images to make the picture but had to download several hundreds to test them and find the right combinations." - Jean-Charles DeBroize
