Description

Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571-1610) has been rescued from neglect to emerge as something of a cult figure, celebrated both for his boldly original art and for his short, violent and troubled life. Catherine Puglisi brings much research together to provide a comprehensive monograph on the artist's life and work.

Works conscientiously and chronologically through every known Caravaggio, giving as much biographical context for that time period as is available, and then analyzing technique and theme and other art historical details for each individual painting. Oh also it has fantastic full-color, full-page reproductions of the majority of his paintings, which is incredibly useful.
