{"product_id":"caravaggio-the-complete-works","title":"Caravaggio: The Complete Works","description":"\u003cp\u003eCaravaggio, or more accurately Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571-1610), was a legend even in his own lifetime. Notorious bad boy of Italian painting, the artist was at once celebrated and controversial: Violent in temper, precise in technique, a creative master, and a man on the run.This work offers a comprehensive reassessment of Caravaggios entire uvre with a catalogue raisonn of his works. Each painting is reproduced in large format, with recent, high production photography allowing for dramatic close-ups with Caravaggios ingenious details of looks and gestures.Five introductory chapters analyze Caravaggios artistic career from his early struggle to make a living, through his first public commissions in Rome, and his growing celebrity status. They look at his increasing daring with lighting and with a boundary-breaking naturalism which allowed even biblical events to unfold with an unprecedented immediacy before the viewer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taschen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45885439770822,"sku":"DADAX3836555816","price":134.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/9389\/1014\/files\/81peHpY1GSL.jpg?v=1779866118","url":"https:\/\/ergodemedia.com\/products\/caravaggio-the-complete-works","provider":"Ergodemedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
