About the book >.>.> Caravaggio Studies by Walter Friedlaender offers an in-depth examination of the life and work of the renowned painter Caravaggio, whose revolutionary art significantly influenced the course of European painting. Friedlaender contrasts Caravaggio?s work with that of his contemporaries, such as the Le Nains and George de La Tour, highlighting the provincial nature of their art compared to the vibrant cultural milieu of Rome, where Caravaggio created and thrived. His artistic innovations spread throughout Europe, garnering recognition for their realism and naturalistic features, marking a departure from established norms of the time.Despite his far-reaching influence, Caravaggio faced substantial criticism from art critics and academicians who deemed his work vulgar. Critics dating from the seventeenth century, including Bellori, and into the nineteenth century with Burckhardt, condemned Caravaggio's approach as a degradation of artistic standards and a mere imitation of nature. These detractors, adhering to ideals of beauty, perceived his work as undermining the notion of Good taste, thus classifying him as a painter of low esteem. Such disparagement has persisted for centuries, contributing to the obscurity of his oeuvre.Friedlaender's studies delve into these critical receptions, exploring the dichotomy between Caravaggio's revolutionary contributions and the constraints of societal standards in art. This examination invites readers to reassess Caravaggio?s role in art history, challenging the prevailing narratives that have suppressed his legacy. Through meticulous analysis, the book presents a nuanced understanding of Caravaggio's impact, making it a critical resource for scholars and enthusiasts of art history.…

Paperback. Condition: New. This study of the life and work of the dynamic painter who shocked Rome and revolutionized its academic schools has come to be considered a standard work on Caravaggio. "A volume that brings us closer to the essence of Caravaggio's art than any previous book . By means of historical analysis, it establishes in what aspects of his style the essential originality of Caravaggio is to be sought, and from what sources it derived its force. The painter discected in these pages may be a trifle less sensational than the figure to which phrase-makers have introduced us, but he emerges as a greater, more purposeful and more intelligible artist." -- The Times Literary Supplement.…
