This neat catalogue raisonne reproduces all of caravaggios paintings as well as a number of dramatic details of his boundary-breaking realism.

Caravaggio, or more accurately michelangelo merisi da Caravaggio 1571 to 1610, was always a name to be reckoned with.

Today, he is considered one of the greatest influences in all art history. This edition offers a neat and comprehensive caravaggio catalogue raisonne. Each of his paintings is reproduced from recent top quality photography, allowing for a vivid encounter with the artists ingenious repertoire of looks and gestures, as well as numerous detail shots of his boundary-breaking naturalism. Five accompanying chapters trace the complete arc of caravaggios career from his first public commissions in Rome through to his growing celebrity status and trace his tempestuous personal life, in which drama loomed as prominently as in his canvases.
