Customer Reviews

comprehensive analysis of his paintings

A comprehensive monograph on a relatively obscure Italian artist. The book analyses most of his surviving paintings. Showing the development of his techniques, and comparing them to those of his contemporaries. The text is also a biography of Caravaggio. Friedlaender has done some heavy digging in original source material to compile this work. Considerable portions of the biography are somewhat speculative. Probably unsurprising, given the paucity of information.

A key to Caravaggio .

One of the pioneers of Caravagio studies, Friedlander's book deserves a reserved place on every Art bookshelf. The systematic approach and novel handling of what could otherwise be difficult to digest, makes Friedlander's masterpiece an essential tool to have and enjoy for every one interested in Caravaggio
