Caravaggio, or rather Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571-1610), was always an involved figure. The artist, who ignored Italian painting, was both praised and vilified. The temperament is precise technical violence, he was a creative master and a fugitive from justice. The most recent assessment is that history affects the past.
A valid and comprehensive catalog raisonné (catalogue exhaust with all known works) for Caravaggio is also Caravaggio. Reproduced as part of photographs. This allows the limits of personal realism to be set. The greatest and greatest novels of Caravaggio's best-selling days have been added to the most wanted list. Likewise, the book's detailed chronology reviews its tumultuous personal screw, in which the tragic plays the same role as his chiaroscuro and canvases.
