The Complete Works. 40th Ed.","description":"Caravaggio, or more accurately Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571–1610), was a legend even in his own lifetime. 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFive introductory chapters analyze 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"TASCHEN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47064041586928,"sku":"9783836587969","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783836587969_p0.jpg?v=1769887976","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783836587969","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
