Reviews

"Puglisi's Caravaggio is a lavishly produced book containing excellent reproductions of many of his works in situ. While it will appeal to the general reader who is interested in a survey of Caravaggio's work, the appeal for the more expert reader will be in the excellent appendix of attributed and lost works and the series of recently discovered documents on the artist."—The Art Book "The book is worth buying for the sumptuous colour plates. These bring the drama of Caravaggio magnificently to life and ravish the eye."—Guardian "A well-written, clear and straightforward narrative... Generously illustrated..."—Burlington Magazine "An admirable, up-to-date and very well illustrated account."—London Review of Books
