A name to be respected has always been Caravaggio, or more specifically Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571-1610). The artist, a notorious bad boy of Italian painting, was simultaneously acclaimed and criticized for his violent demeanor, exact technique, mastery of creativity, and exile. He is now regarded as having had a significant impact on the development of art history.
The Caravaggio catalogue raisonné in this Bibliotheca Universalis edition is organized and complete. A vivid experience with the artist's inventive range of expressions and motions as well as countless detail shots of his ground-breaking naturalism are made possible by the fact that each of his paintings is recreated from contemporary, high-quality photography.
