Caravaggio

About the book: This volume introduces the life and work of Caravaggio, the notorious rebel of the baroque art world. Through his dramatic use of color, light, and shadow, and spectacular visual inventions, he is considered one of the most influential painters of all time today.

Biography: Gilles Lambert (1928–2011) commuted between Rome and his native Paris throughout his life due to his love for Italy. He translated numerous works on the Seicento from Italian. Together with André Labarthe, he founded the magazine Constellation in the 1950s, and later worked for Le Figaro Littéraire and Paris Match. Lambert has written monographs on Auguste Mariette and Caravaggio.
Gilles Néret (1933–2005) was an art historian, journalist, writer, and exhibition critic. He organized several art retrospectives in Japan and founded the SEIBU Museum and the Wildenstein Gallery in Tokyo. He led art magazines such as L'Œil and Connaissance des Arts and received the Prix Élie Faure in 1981 for his publications. His publications with TASCHEN include Dalí – The Complete Paintings, Matisse, and Erotica Universalis.
