Tight clean with beautiful illustrations. "Rejecting mannerism in favour of realism, this artist of the Counter- Reformation restored to the saints their humanity. Paradoxically, this mystical painter gives the saints a sensuality which goes beyond veneration and opens the door to an ambiguous eroticism...both his themes and his techniques became an inspiration for Rubens, Velzquez, and Rembrandt, inspiring especially the technique of chiaroscuro, of which he was one of the precursors. With the help of numerous colour reproductions, this book retraces the life of Caravaggio and evaluates his work while illustrating the scope of his influence on the greatest artists." ; Temporis Series; Color Illustrations; Oversize; 256 pages.
