Attractive and affordable art book with a complete, but concise, life of the artist and plenty of top-notch reproductions of his paintings. My favorites are the Head of the Medusa, Judith & Holophernes, The Vocation of Saint Matthew, The Crucifixion of Saint Peter, Saint Jerome Writing, and The Execution of Saint John the Baptist.

Figura controversa do barroco italiano, morto misteriosamente - a sinopse do livro o compara a Pasolini-, Caravaggio é interessante tanto por sua vida como por sua obra, de admiráveis composições e usos do chiaroscuro, que só agora está tendo o reconhecimento que merece.
I enjoyed the illustrations but desired more from the text.
Un gran exponente del barroco. Salvo en sus principios, Caravaggio produjo mayoritariamente pinturas religiosas. Sin embargo, a menudo escandalizaba y sus lienzos eran rechazados por sus clientes. Dos de los reproches habituales eran el realismo de sus figuras religiosas rozando el naturalismo temprano, prefería escoger a sus modelos de entre el pueblo: prostitutas, chicos de la calle o mendigos posaron a menudo para los personajes de su cuadros. Caravaggio tuvo una vida tumultuosa y show more causaba tanto admiración como rechazo. Creo que por eso es que me gusta tanto. show less
