SynopsisCaravaggio, or more accurately Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571-1610), was a legend even in his own lifetime. 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 edition offers a comprehensive reassessment of Caravaggio's entire oeuvre with a catalogue raisonné of his works. Each painting is reproduced 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., The notorious bad boy of Italian painting is now considered one of the greatest masters in art history. This neat catalogue raisonné reproduces all of Caravaggio's paintings as well as a number of details of his boundary-breaking realism. Five chapters assess his artistic achievements while a detailed chronology traces his dramatic personal life.

Good book at a good price
This book is about the Renaissance artist Caravaggio. I haven’t had the opportunity to read the text of this book as I would like but I have been able give it a good examination. There are tons of illustrations which show a lot of details and colors. There are some visual limitations because the book is not a full size or coffee table style book. Nevertheless the illustrations are wonderful. The book is in excellent condition and I am very happy with it.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

great book - definitely recommendable
Although it is not a "coffee table book" in terms of size, it is more than adequate for any reader interested in the works of Caravaggio. Complete in pictures with a short description of the major works, the book is of high quality and would recommend it for any research.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
