Caravaggio, or more accurately Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio
(1571-1610), was always a name to be reckoned with. Notorious bad
boy of Italian painting, the artist was at once celebrated and
controversial: Violent in temper, precise in technique, a creative
master, and a man on the run. This work offers a comprehensive
reassessment of Caravaggio's entire oeuvre with a catalogue
raisonne of his works. Each painting is reproduced in large format,
with recent, high production photography allowing for dramatic
close-ups with Caravaggio's ingenious details of looks and
gestures. Five introductory chapters analyze Caravaggio's artistic
career from his early struggle to make a living, through his first
public commissions in Rome, and his growing celebrity status. They
look at his increasing daring with lighting and with a
boundary-breaking naturalism which allowed even biblical events to
unfold with an unprecedented immediacy before the viewer.
