Notorious bad boy of Italian painting, the artist was at once celebrated and controversial: \u003cstrong\u003eViolent in temper, precise in technique, a creative master, and a man on the run\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This work offers a \u003cstrong\u003ecomprehensive reassessment of Caravaggio’s entire œuvre\u003c\/strong\u003e with a catalogue raisonné of his works. Each painting is reproduced in large format, with recent, high production photography allowing for \u003cstrong\u003edramatic close-ups with Caravaggio's ingenious details of looks and gestures.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Five 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\u003cstrong\u003e boundary-breaking naturalism\u003c\/strong\u003e which allowed even biblical events to unfold with an unprecedented immediacy before the viewer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53241106989329,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53241107349777,"sku":"NGR9783836555784","price":157.29,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783836555784.jpg?v=1786108384","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-au\/products\/caravaggio-book-sebastian-schtze-9783836555784","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
