Without them as the great Italian art writer Roberto Longhi once noted "Ribera Vermeer La Tour and Rembrandt could never have existed. and the art of Delacroix Courbet and Manet would have been utterly different." It was Longhi who rescued Caravaggio's painting for the twentieth century prior to which it had lain dormant since the painter's mysterious death in 1610. During Caravaggio's lifetime however his work was enormously influential and controversial. Each of his innovations in some way upset the prevailing tendencies of the day--not least when his insistence on physical realism led him to paint Saint Matthew as a bald peasant with dirty legs attended upon by an irreverently intimate boy angel. Nonetheless Caravaggio was never short of commissions or patrons and left to posterity around 80 masterpieces. This monograph is published on the fourth centenary of Caravaggio's death and documents his complete paintings in high-quality reproductions. Authored by renowned scholar Rossella Vodret it is the must-have monograph on the artist. Michelangelo Merisi known as Caravaggio was born in 1571 and made his debut in 1600 with two public commissions on the theme of Saint Matthew. He soon became notorious for his temper and killed a young man in 1606; two further contretemps in Malta and Naples are recorded--the latter in 1609 involving an attempt on his life--and by 1610 he was dead after a brief but extraordinary career. . 2010. 8836616623 .
