Caravaggio Hardcover – 19 Dec. 2022

Sometimes you see something that is just to good to be true that you actually ignore it. I very nearly did just that until I noticed this book was a Taschen. I so much wanted the full size Caravaggio Taschen which many people managed to purchase. That book has now disappeared and the small Hand Held version is available ( getting a Bad Rap ) I have to say. Funny though, some people are complaining that the book is too small while others are complaining the the full size version it's too large and heavy.However, this book is magnificent and I found very very beautiful.Because of the astonishing price I relied on your views. So I would like to thank those of you who took the time in writing a review. Although.....I think I would of took a shot and brought it Blind.The book explodes that pure horror of much of Caravaggio's work and that creepy feeling of what is about to appear from that dark place behind our subjects. Of all the Artist's I love and admire no one quite has the effect Caravaggio has. I believe he set out to be very different from any other artist and most certainly lived a life as dark and wild as his work.However....I am not an art critic and I believe not many of us who purchased this book is going to buy a book on Van Gogh tomorrow, probably I'm wrong. What I do know is I believe this book to be bloody beautiful at an extraordinary price.Thank you all for writing a review I found them useful.

A lovely book and the illustrations are clear and colourful. Well worth adding to my collection.

Another Caravaggio book to add to my collection. The man was a master artist and I never cease to wonder at his skills. This is a Taschen book (quality), 95 pages and measures 21½ x 26½ cm, just under A4 high. There’s duplication between this book and many others but the quality is high and the pictures remarkable.

Was expecting paperback but my fault - very happy with the book though - great service!
