The Path of Humility: Caravaggio and Carlo Borromeo establishes a
fundamental relationship between the Franciscan humility of
Archbishop of Milan Carlo Borromeo and the Roman sacred works of
Caravaggio. This is the first book to consider and focus entirely
upon these two seemingly anomalous personalities of the
Counter-Reformation. The import of Caravaggio's Lombard artistic
heritage has long been seen as pivotal to the development of his
sacred style, but it was not his only source of inspiration. This
book seeks to enlarge the discourse surrounding Caravaggio's style
by placing him firmly in the environment of Borromean Milan, a city
whose urban fabric was transformed into a metaphorical Via Crucis.
This book departs from the prevailing preoccupation - the artist's
experience in Rome as fundamental to his formulation of sacred
style - and toward his formative years in Borromeo's Milan, where
humility reigned supreme. This book is intended for a broad, yet
specialized readership interested in Counter-Reformation art and
devotion. It serves as a critical text for undergraduate and
graduate art history courses on Baroque art, Caravaggio, and
Counter-Reformation art.
