Caravaggio: The Complete Works by Alessandro Guasti and Fran

ISBN: 0760789533

Author: Alessandro Guasti and Francesca Neri

Condition: new

This beautiful volume traces the tumultuous life and brilliant career of this fascinating artist-rebel, offering a rich and renewed appreciation of the masterworks that still seem strikingly modern. Because his career was so short and he never established a workshop, Caravaggio and his work were largely forgotten for the three centuries following his death, despite the great fame he earned during his life, and only about fifty of his paintings are known to survive today.
