Caravaggio

Synopsis of Caravaggio

This book presents an introduction to the life and work of Michelangelo da Caravaggio, the notorious "bad boy" of Italian Baroque painting, employed theatrical realism and sacrilegious subject matter that infuriated viewers of the time, forced him into obscurity, and raises eyebrows even today. Full-color reproductions and thorough text provide a quick yet solid introduction to this master.
