Product Description

Product Description

Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571-1610) was a boldly original painter who led a short and violent life. The powerful realism of his figures upset many of his contemporaries, and their power to shock remains undiminished. This book, providing a biography, presents all his most famous masterpieces, each with a commentary. The introduction gives an account of his wayward life and his artistic development. Controversial in his own lifetime, and neglected after his death, Caravaggio has re-emerged both as a great master and as something of a cult figure, the subject of a notable film by Derek Jarman.

4.0 out of 5 stars Quality images, 21 Dec 2006
By E. O'Callaghan "Eoin O'Callaghan" (London, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Was delighted with this book - not an in depth biography of an artist by any means, but the images are superb. The quality and size of each plate allows you to really appreciate what the artist produced, which at the end of the day is what being an art fan is all about. There is a short biography at the beginning, and each painting is described, analysed, criticised and explained. I would stongly recommend this series of books as an introduction to any artist.
