The notorious bad boy of Italian painting is now considered one of the greatest masters in art history. This neat catalogue raisonn reproduces all of Caravaggios 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.
Caravaggio, or more accurately Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (15711610), 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 Caravaggios entire uvre with a catalogue raisonn 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.
