Caravaggio

Wednesday, October 05, 2005

Francine Prose looks at the life of Caravaggio—an Italian baroque painter who worked outside of the conventions and expectations of his times. Taking as his subjects ordinary people, he set himself apart as an innovative thinker and artist. Meanwhile, his personal life was full of mystery and strife. Ms. Prose examines the relation between his troubled life and unusual work in a new biography, Caravaggio: Painter of Miracles.
