This work - published to mark 400 years since the death of the great painter - looks at Caravaggio's major works through commentaries by some of the most famous international art historians. Edited by Claudio Strinati, this monograph investigates the famous and infamous personality of the "Lombard genius" through a radically innovative and updated perspective. Some of the most authoritative world academics were asked to name and describe their favourite Caravaggio work of art. As a result this highly scientific, but also profoundly personal, shared and subjective publication was born. The works, held in major museums throughout the world, are critically analysed by the experts and include important pieces as Conversion of Saul (Francesco Buranelli), Sacrifice of Isaac (Cristina Acidini), Basket of fruit (Maurizio Calvesi), Amor Vincit Omnia (Bernd Wolfgang Lindemann), Bacchus (Mina Gregori), Supper in the House of Emmaus (Sandrina Bandera), Flagellation of Christ (Lorenza Mochi Onori), Rest during the flight to Egypt (Maurizio Calvesi), Judith beheading Holofernes (Rossella Vodret), David with the head of Goliath (Anna Coliva), Adoration of the Shepherds (Gioacchino Barbera), Saint John the Baptist (Vincenzo Pacelli), and Sleeping Cupid (Vincenzo Abbate).
"Caravaggio was not only a modern man in an unenlightened age, he was also a painter whose art gave light to the century: this is because he became the greatest exponent of the "science of light"; the light that allows bodies to be the very protagonists of the work - diminishing the importance of the background - and above all protagonists of that naturalistic representation that until Caravaggio had not bloomed." (Emmanuele Francesco Maria Emanuele - Chairman, Azienda Speciale Palaexpo).
