Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571–1610) was one of the most innovative painters of his time, and one of the greatest artists of any age. Rescued from neglect, he has become a cultural icon in the late twentieth century, not only for his art but also because of his violent and tragic life. Catherine Puglisi’s highly praised monograph, now available for the first time in paperback, supersedes all previous studies of the artist. Making full use of new research and dramatic recent discoveries, she has produced a precise, clear-headed and comprehensive work of scholarship that also provides a moving biography of the artist and a penetrating analysis of the genius with which he absorbed and transformed the artistic tradition of...

The complete oeuvre of the dark genius who revolutionized European painting - and remains as controversial 400 years after his death. Caravaggio, or more accurately Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, was a legend even in his own lifetime. Celebrated by some for his naturalism and his revolutionary pictorial inventions, he was considered by others to have destroyed painting. Few other artists have provoked such controversy and so many contradictory interpretations right up to modern times. Just in time for the Caravaggio year 2010, this work offers a comprehensive reassessment of Caravaggio`s entire oeuvre, with a catalogue raisonne of his works. Five introductory chapters analyse his artistic career from his training in Lombard Milan...

When Alton`s ageing, blind uncle asks him to attend bridge games with him, he agrees. After all, it`s better than a crappy summer job in the local shopping mall, and Alton`s mother thinks it might secure their way to a good inheritance sometime in the future. But, like all apparently casual choices in any of Louis Sachar`s wonderful books, this choice soon turns out to be a lot more complex than Alton could ever have imagined. As his relationship with his uncle develops, and he meets the very attractive Toni, deeply buried secrets are uncovered and a romance that spans decades is finally brought to a conclusion. Alton`s mother is in for a surprise!
