Caravaggio by Sebastian Schtze

Caravaggio by Sebastian Schtze

The notorious bad boy of Italian painting is now considered one of the greatest masters in art history. This neat catalogue raisonne reproduces all of Caravaggios paintings as well as a number of details of his boundary-breaking realism. Five chapters assess his artistic achievements while a detailed chronology traces his dramatic personal life.

“The pictures come across as so real that leafing through this book, the reader almost smells the oil paintEvery page is a pleasure for the senses.” * NDR Kultur *
“This book is an artwork unto itself—perfect for Italian Renaissance aficionados.” * Die Welt *
“The reproductions are excellent, the details often breathtakingly vivid..." * The Royal Academy Magazine *
