This is Caravaggio - Annabel Howard, Iker Spozio - Hardcover
Mercurial, saturnine, scandalous and unpredictable, Caravaggio - as a man, as a character and as an artist - holds dramatic appeal. When he did settle for long enough to paint, he produced works of staggering creativity and technical innovation. He spent a large part of his life on the run, leaving a trail of illuminated chaos wherever he passed, most of it recorded in criminal justice records.
Caravaggio was a rebel and a violent man, but he eyed the world with deep empathy, realism and an unrelenting honesty. He was famous throughout Italy for his fulminating temper, but also for his radical and sensitive humanisation of biblical stories, and in particular his decision to include the brutal and dirty life of the street in his paintings.
