Notorious bad boy of Italian painting, the artist was at once celebrated and controversial: violent in temper, precise in technique, a creative master, and a man on the run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis edition offers a comprehensive reassessment of Caravaggio's entire œuvre with a catalogue raisonné of his works. Each painting is reproduced with recent, high production photography allowing for dramatic close-ups with Caravaggio's ingenious details of looks and gestures.\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 boundary-breaking naturalism 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":47536388440300,"sku":"9783836587969","price":62.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9783836587969-caravaggio.jpg?v=1776381235","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/caravaggio-by-sebastian-schutze-9783836587969","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
