Description:
M: The Man Who Became Caravaggio by Peter Robb is a work
that combines art history and biography to tell the story of the 17th
century artist, Caravaggio. This compelling artist is credited with
bringing realism, even photorealism to the painting world. Described
as having a miserable, rootless and inventive life, Caravaggio challenged
the existing dogma of his time by painting with vitality and originality
during the repressive Counter Reformation. Robb's work capitalizes upon
a revitalized interest in Caravaggio, generated by recent access to
court documents and other newly uncovered sources.
