Summary: A bold, fresh biography of the world's first modern painter. Caravaggio's wild and tempestuous life was a provocation to a culture in a state of siege. The sixteenth century was marked by the Inquisition and Counter-Reformation, a background of ideological cold war against which, despite all odds and at great cost to their creators, brilliant feats of art and science were achieved. No artist captured the dark, violent spirit of the time better than Caravaggio, variously known as Marisi, Moriggia, Merigi, and sometimes, simply M.
