Reviews

"[Caravaggio] accomplishes the seemingly impossible by offering readers a fresh take on the issues of market, reception, and knowledge that informed Caravaggio's artistic production."--Renaissance Quarterly

"A perceptive and readable scholarly volume."--The Burlington Magazine


"Richly illustrated with numerous fine color plates."--Choice

"This is a rigorous and scrupulous reexamination of Caravaggio's works by the standards of art. . . . The narrative is clear and well-reasoned, and the translation from the original German is exemplary. . . . And then there are the works themselves! Gorgeously reproduced and exceptionally well integrated into the text, this is a book that should be particularly sought after by those new to the works of this incomparable master."--THE Magazine
