內(nèi)容概要
Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio lived the darkest and most
dangerous life of any of the great painters. The worlds of Milan,
Rome and Naples through which Caravaggio moved and which Andrew
Graham-Dixon describes brilliantly in this book, are those of
cardinals and whores, prayer and violence. On the streets
surrounding the churches and palaces, brawls and sword fights were
regular occurrences. In the course of this desperate life
Caravaggio created the most dramatic paintings of his age, using
ordinary men and women - often prostitutes and the very poor - to
model for his depictions of classic religious scenes. Andrew
Graham-Dixon's exceptionally illuminating readings of Caravaggio's
pictures, which are the heart of the book, show very clearly how he
created their drama, immediacy and humanity, and how completely he
departed from the conventions of his time.
