Caravaggio, or more accurately Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571–1610), was always a name to be reckoned with. Notorious bad boy of Italian painting, the artist was at once celebrated and controversial: violent in temper, precise in technique, a creative master, and a man on the run. Today, he is considered one of the greatest influences in all art history.This edition offers a neat and comprehensive Caravaggio catalogue raisonné. Each of his paintings is reproduced from recent top-quality photography, allowing for a vivid encounter with the artist’s 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 Caravaggio’s 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.

Caravaggio, o para ser más exactos Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571-1610), siempre fue una figura de relevancia. El artista, considerado un rebelde de la pintura italiana, fue a la vez alabado y vapuleado. De temperamento violento y técnica precisa, fue un maestro creativo y un fugitivo de la justicia. En la actualidad se le considera una de las figuras más influyentes de toda la historia del arte.Esta edición ofrece un ordenado pero exhaustivo catalogue raisonné (catálogo exhaustivo, con todas las obras conocidas) de Caravaggio. Todas sus pinturas se reproducen a partir de fotografías recientes de gran calidad que permiten disfrutar en primera persona del genial repertorio de miradas y gestos del artista y de numerosos detalles de ese personal realismo que traspasaba límites. Los cinco capítulos que lo completan recorren toda la trayectoria de Caravaggio, desde sus primeros encargos públicos en Roma hasta el punto más alto de su celebridad. Asimismo, la detallada cronología del libro repasa su tempestuosa vida personal, en la que lo trágico tuvo el mismo protagonismo que los claroscuros en sus lienzos.Sobre la serie¡TASCHEN ya tiene 40 años!
