Francine Prose's life of Caravaggio evokes the genius of this great
artist through a brilliant reading of his paintings. Caravaggio
defied the aesthetic conventions of his time; his use of ordinary
people, realistically portrayed-street boys, prostitutes, the poor,
the aged-was a profound and revolutionary innovation that left its
mark on generations of artists. His insistence on painting from
nature, on rendering the emotional truth of experience, whether
religious or secular, makes him an artist who speaks across the
centuries to our own time. In "Caravaggio", Francine Prose presents
the brief but tumultuous life of one of the greatest of all
painters with passion and acute sensitivity.
