Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571-1610) was one of the most
innovative painters of his time, and one of the most momentous
artists of any era. Rescued from neglect, he has become a cultural
icon in the late twentieth century, not only for his art but also
because of his violent and tragic life. Catherine Puglisi's highly
praised monograph, now available for the first time in paperback to
extend its accessibility to a new audience, supersedes all previous
studies of the artist by far. Making full use of the latest
research and a series of dramatic recent discoveries, she has
produced a concise, clear-headed and comprehensive work of
scholarship that also provides a moving biography of the artist and
an incisive deconstruction of the genius with which he absorbed and
transformed the artistic tradition of his time. Altogether,
Puglisi's work - a profound achievement in its own right - reveals
a poignant aspect to Caravaggio's life and work, which offers a
deeper insight into his function as an artist than has ever been
made possible before. The entirety of Caravaggio's works are
discussed with expertise and illustrated in colour, while the book
also contains an appendix of documents dating back to the sixteenth
century, full notes and a wide bibliography, a checklist of works
and full indexes. This authoritative and beautifully produced
monograph is the standard work on Caravaggio: it is now accessible
to the broadest audience yet in a no less sophisticated but all the
more user-friendly presentation.
