Caravaggio (Spanish Edition)

A painter ahead of his time: Rebellious art from the Baroque age Notorious bad boy of Italian Baroque painting, Caravaggio (1571–1610) is finally getting the recognition he deserves. Though his name may be familiar to all of us, his work had been habitually detested and forced into obscurity. Not only was his theatrical realism unfashionable in his time, but his sacrilegious subject matter and use of lower-class models were violently scorned. Caravaggio’s great work had the misfortune of enduring centuries of disrepute. It wasn’t until the end of the 19th century that he was rediscovered and, quite posthumously, deemed a great master. He is now considered the most important painter of the early Baroque period; without him there would have been no Ribera, Zurbarán, Velázquez, Vermeer or Georges de La Tour. Frans Hals, Rembrandt, Delacroix, and Manet would have been different. In this anniversary edition you’ll find over 50 of Caravaggio’s best paintings; we think you’ll agree that he was a genius beyond his time. About the Series: Each book in TASCHEN’s Basic Art Series features:<ul>
<li>a detailed chronological summary of the life and oeuvre of the artist, covering his or her cultural and historical importance</li> <li>a concise biography</li> <li>approximately 100 colour illustrations with explanatory captions</li> </ul>

Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571-1610) was always a name to be reckoned with. Notorious bad boy of the Italian Baroque, the artist was at once celebrated and controversial, violent in temper, precise in technique, a creative master, and a man on the run. Though famed for his dramatic use of color, light, and shadow, it was above all Caravaggio's boundary-breaking naturalism which scorched his name into the annals of art history. From the dirtied soles of feet to the sexualized languor of bare flesh, the artist allowed even sacred and biblical scenes to unfold with a startling, often visceral humanity. This vivid pictorial world was accompanied by an equally intense personal biography, scored by gambling, debts, drunken brawls, and even a murder charge. This book brings together more than 50 of Caravaggio's most famous and revolutionary works to explore how and why this artist is now considered the most important painter of the early Baroque period and one of the defining influences of art history, without whom Ribera, Vermeer, Rembrandt, Delacroix, Courbet, and Manet could never have painted the way they did. About the series Born back in 1985, the Basic Art Series has evolved into the best-selling art book collection ever published. Each book in TASCHEN's Basic Art series features: a detailed chronological summary of the life and oeuvre of the artist, covering his or her cultural and historical importance a concise biography approximately 100 illustrations with explanatory captions

Caravaggio (Basic Art) (Spanish Edition)

Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571-1610) n'a jamais laissé indifférent sa vie durant. Mauvais garçon du baroque italien, il était célébré autant que contesté: de tempérament explosif, c'était un artiste révolutionnaire.Bien que réputé pour son utilisation spectaculaire de la couleur, de la lumière et de l'ombre, c'est avant tout le naturalisme vigoureusement novateur et les incroyables inventions picturales du Caravage qui gravèrent son nom dans les annales de l'histoire de l'art. Le Caravage fait s'épanouir jusqu'aux scènes bibliques avec une humanité fascinante, souvent viscérale. Cet univers pictural à l'expressivité bouillonnante accompagne une biographie personnelle tout aussi tumultueuse, jalonnée d'histoires de dettes, de jeu, de beuveries et bagarres, et même d'une accusation de meurtre.Ce livre rassemble les ouvres les plus importantes et révolutionnaires du Caravage pour expliquer pourquoi cet artiste est aujourd'hui considéré comme l'un des principaux représentants du baroque qui a exercé une influence majeure sur des artistes tels que Ribera, Vermeer, Rembrandt, Delacroix, Courbet et Manet.
