Notorious bad boy of Italian painting, the artist was at once celebrated and controversial: \u003cb\u003eViolent in temper, precise in technique, a creative master, and a man on the run.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis work offers a \u003cb\u003ecomprehensive reassessment of Caravaggio's entire œuvre\u003c\/b\u003e with a catalogue raisonné of his works. Each painting is reproduced in large format, with recent, high production photography allowing for \u003cb\u003edramatic close-ups with Caravaggio's ingenious details of looks and gestures.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFive introductory chapters analyse Caravaggio's artistic career from his early struggle to make a living, through his first public commissions in Rome, and his growing celebrity status. They look at his increasing daring with lighting and with a \u003cb\u003eboundary-breaking naturalism\u003c\/b\u003e which allowed even biblical events to unfold with an unprecedented immediacy before the viewer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47595931762924,"sku":"9783836555814","price":195.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9783836555814-caravaggio.jpg?v=1777910991","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/caravaggio-by-sebastian-schutze-9783836555814","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
