When art history is on the front page of the New York Times, it is worth mentioning it here. This article, by Michael Kimmelman, argues that Michaelangelo has been bumped from his perch atop the Italian art charts by Caravaggio. Kimmelman cites a study by Philip Sohm presented at the College Art Association (CAA) meeting in February (2010).

Man who has lost silence has not merely lost one human quality but his whole structure has been changed thereby."Knowledge of Time, Max Picard, 1948
