Andrew Graham-Dixon

Opis

A biography of one of history's most compelling artists, whose hot temper was as renowned as his work.

Recenzje

Caravaggio has rarely been seen in such depth and such relief as in this marvellous biography. Andrew Graham-Dixon reads Caravaggio's paintings with the habits and assumptions, thoughts and fears of his contemporaries so that we see and feel the paintings more acutely and intensely than before. The man and his work emerge enriched and enlivened Neil MacGregor, Director of the British Museum
