Appreciate the drama, passion, and sheer genius of Caravaggio. 🎨

Caravaggio, a name that reverberates through the annals of art history, was a true rebel of his time. Known as the bad boy of Italian painting, his life was as turbulent as the canvases he created. This book meticulously chronicles his journey, from his early public commissions in Rome to his eventual status as a celebrated yet controversial figure always on the run. Each painting is reproduced with incredible detail thanks to recent, top-quality photography, allowing you to get up close and personal with his masterful use of light and shadow, a technique known as chiaroscuro. You will also discover the raw emotion and naturalism that made his work so revolutionary.
