About This Item
Los Angeles: The J. Paul Getty Museum, 2012. First Edition. With 187 colour illustrations by Caravaggio throughout the text, and 172 thumbnail colour chronologidal images at the back of the volume. Folio, publisher’s original brown cloth, lettered in gilt on the spine, and in the colour dustjacket with Caravaggio illustrations. 319, pp. A fine and fresh copy. FIRST EDITION. "Michelangelo Caravaggio (1571-1610) is considered one of the greatest pioneers in the history of art, celebrated for the groundbreaking naturalism and highly charged emotionalism of his paintings... The beautiful reproductions of Caravaggio's paintings in this volume make clear why he captivated the imagination of his contemporaries, a reaction that echoes today in the ongoing popularity of his work and the fierce debt that it continues to provoke among art historians." ”-Publisher.
