Absolutely gorgeous book. Puts in easy enough terms the frame of mind and influences in Caravaggio's many works through the genius mode of cutouts. Particularly famous paintings are given a spread of 2 pages focused on a detail of importance (The Calling of Saint Matthew, Bacchus, The Cardsharps, etc.) Here were some of my favorites:








The cutouts offered me a chance to view and analyze the painting for myself before reading the page's interpretation, in a way "guiding" me to what to look for in his paintings.

I only wish the book had more analysis and less emphasis on the many homes, complicated commissioners and their 5 names, and museums the paintings passed through. The small paragraphs before the painting were at times a bit incongruous as well. I don't have the strongest grasp of the saints and biblical stores either, and so a bit more on that would have made it more informational (I still don't know what Saint Lucia did or died by).

Also, be aware this is a huge book, (10 x 13) so like... this is home reading. Still a definite recommend. Can't wait to get a biography or two on this man.

più della mostra che del catalogo in sé...

anche a me la mostra è piaciuta: era proprio l'Ottocento che volevo vedere io, non quello lezioso e manieristico di tanta produzione di quel secolo; sono fissata col Bacio di Hayez e non potevo perdere l'occasione di vederlo, perché non c'è riproduzione che tenga! (e io ce l'ho in tutte le forme: agendina, segnalibro, mousepad ecc ecc)il catalogo l'ho appena sfogliato ma mi sembra ben fatto e completo
