Overview

Caravaggio, or more accurately Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571–1610), was a legend even in his own lifetime.

Few other artists have provoked such controversy and contradictory interpretations right up to modern times.

More About This Book

Overview

Caravaggio, or more accurately Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571–1610), was a legend even in his own lifetime. Celebrated by some for his naturalism and his revolutionary pictorial inventions, he was considered by others to have destroyed painting. Few other artists have provoked such controversy and contradictory interpretations right up to modern times.

The book offers a comprehensive new examination of the whole of Caravaggio’s œuvre with a catalogue raisonée of his works. Five introductory chapters analyse his artistic career from his training in Lombard Milan and his triumphal rise in papal Rome up to his dramatic final years in Naples, Malta and Sicily. The spotlight thereby falls upon the radical nature and innovative force of his art and its influence in all of Europe.

Our understanding of Caravaggio’s work has been substantially broadened in recent decades by major exhibitions, restoration campaigns, new attributions and archival discoveries. The new catalogue raisonée offers a detailed overview of Caravaggio’s entire œuvre on the basis of the latest research. All the paintings are documented in large-scale reproductions and spectacular detail illustrations that set new standards in their scope and quality.

    A very important work

    One could hardly complain about Sebastian Schutze's text, which very nicely combines history, biography, and a critical eye. The printing is almost extraordinary, but is marred by an ink smear on page 241. Several ultra large format page layouts offer a closer look at selected Caravaggio works.
