This Taschen book explores the life and work of Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, the notorious Italian Baroque painter. Despite his talent, Caravaggio was a controversial figure in his time due to his theatrical realism and his use of lower class models, which led to his work being detested and relegated to oblivion. However, he was rediscovered in the late 19th century and recognized as a great master. The book examines his life full of crimes and scandals, as well as his impact on the history of art.
