A catalogue with first-class, full-size colour reproductions of all of Caravaggio's principal paintings. This comprehensive study showcases each painting in state-of-the-art photography, with close-ups of details, like his ability to capture emotion with the subtlest of facial expressions. The text analyses his career and his riotous life: a rag-to-riches story every bit as dramatic as Caravaggio's art.
