Michelangelo Merisi (1571-1610), also known as Caravaggio, was an Italian Baroque painter widely accepted as one of the greatest artist of human history. People with less knowledge on Caravaggio only know him as a troublemaker who always threw himself into a difficult situation regardless of his remarkable success. Of course this talented artist often got into quarrels and caused troubles, not worrying about how his actions may affect his career and compromise his patrons' reputations. But if you focus on his internal feelings and process of producing works, you will notice that many of Caravaggio's images are either exaggerated or not true.
This less than a 150 pages biography depicts the internal world of this renowned Baroque painter explaining it with the relationship with his works. Ergo, reading this book will mean knowing the true character of "Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio!"
