In Caravaggio, Varriano uncovers the principles and practices that guided Caravaggio's brush as he made some of the most controversial paintings in the history of art. He sheds an important new light on these disputes by tracing the autobiographical threads in Caravaggio's paintings, framing these within the context of contemporary Italian culture.
