Raamat annab täieliku ülevaate Caravaggio maalipärandist, tutvustades tema teoseid selgelt ja üksikasjalikult. Siin on kirjeldatud erakordse ja tavatu kunstniku meistriteoseid ning dramaatilist elukäiku. Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio oli oma eluajal üks kõige rohkem Euroopa kunsti mõjutanud maalijaid, kelle jäetud pitserit kunsti arengule on märgata tänapäevalgi. Lugeja teeb läbi rännaku tema tormilisel loometeel, mis on raamatu lehekülgedel esitatud alates "Pirni koorivast poisist" kuni "Ristija Johanneseni".
Good detailed artist review and some nice background on his artistic arc. Two favorite paintings: the disturbing Judith and Holofernes and his Saint Jerome.
Similarly written to the other books of this series. I still have issues with paintings that are referred to in the book are not present, as well as random sections on important paintings in the middle of a sentence.
Michelangelo da Caravaggio is somewhat underknown considering his place in Art History. One of my own top five to ten all-timers. I saw a bunch of his paintings in Amsterdam in the spring of 2006 at a special Rembrandt-Caravaggio exhibit at the Van Gogh Museum. Amazing.
