<p>Caravaggio, or more accurately Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571¿1610), was always a name to be reckoned with. 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. Today, he is considered one of the greatest influences in all art history.This edition offers a neat and comprehensive Caravaggio catalogue raisonn¿Each of his paintings is reproduced from recent top-quality photography, allowing for a vivid encounter with the artist¿s ingenious repertoire of looks and gestures, as well as numerous detail shots of his boundary-breaking naturalism.
