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 oeuvre\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":"Taschen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48003140124861,"sku":"BS-TC0-555814","price":86.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0771\/9767\/2637\/files\/9783836555814-HD.jpg?v=1786877936","url":"https:\/\/boundigo.com\/products\/caravaggio-the-complete-works","provider":"Boundigo Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
