Though his name may be familiar to all of us, his work has been habitually detested and forced into obscurity. Not only was his theatrical realism unfashionable in his time, but his sacrilegious subject matter and use of lower class models were violently scorned.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Caravaggio's great work had the misfortune of enduring centuries of disrepute. It wasn't until the end of the 19th century that he was rediscovered and, quite posthumously, deemed a great master. He is now considered the most important painter of the early Baroque period; without him there would have been no Ribera, Zurbarán, Velázquez, Vermeer or Georges de la Tour. Franz Hals, Rembrandt, Delacroix, and Manet would have been different.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In this new book you'll find over 50 of Caravaggio's best paintings; we think you'll agree that he was a genius beyond his time. \u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Series: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Each book in TASCHEN's Basic Art series features: \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ea detailed chronological summary of the life and oeuvre of the artist, covering his or her cultural and historical importance\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ea concise biography\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eapproximately 100 illustrations with explanatory captions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"TASCHEN","offers":[{"title":"Caravaggio | Gilles Néret | Paperback | 9783822863053 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks G 1788938","offer_id":67857758716056,"sku":"1788938","price":11.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81UOcwiv2FL.jpg?v=1793496115","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/caravaggio-1","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
