Caravaggio - Helen Langdon
a life
KORTE INHOUD
In this vivid and beautifully written biography, Helen Langdon tells the story of the great painter's life and times in a way that leaves the reader with a renewed appreciation of his art. Helen Langdon has spent a lifetime studying Caracaggio; through impeccable research, vivid history, and searching readings of the paintings (several dozen of them are reproduced here, many in color), she brilliantly evokes the relation between Caravaggio's art and the social movements of his time. Hers is the definitive biography of one of the greatest of all painters.
