Caravaggio, Paperback

Definitive and acclaimed biography of one of history's most compelling artist by this compelling art critic and commentator. It is illustrated with colour reproductions, and the readings of the paintings at the heart of this book show very clearly how Caravaggio created their drama, immediacy and humanity, and how he departed completely from the conventions of his time. 'Meat and revealing...illuminates the darkness of both Caravaggio's personality and his work' }Sunday Telegraph{
