Editorial Reviews:
Review:"[Robb's] account achieves both intimacy and vibrancy because of the richness of its layering, its nonstop accumulation of analyzed detail."
Richard Bernstein, New York Times Book Review, 3/6/2000
Review:"Australian-born Robb...has created an idiosyncratic but dazzling biography of Caravaggio by exploiting almost every extant fragment, including a handful of sightings by friends and enemies, and the scanty Italian police files....Just as Caravaggio took art to the edge, Robb takes biography there."
Publishers Weekly, 12/20/1999

The sixteenth century was marked by the Inquisition and Counter-Reformation, a background of ideological cold war against which, despite all odds and at great cost to their creators, brilliant feats of art and science were achieved. No artist captured the dark, violent spirit of the time better than Caravaggio, variously known as Marisi, Moriggia, Merigi, and sometimes, simply M. As art critic Robert Hughes has said, "There was art before him and art after him, and they were not the same."Caravaggio threw out Renaissance dogma to paint with dazzling originality and fierce vitality, qualities that are echoed in Robb's prose. As with Caravaggio's art, M arrests and susps time to reveal what the author calls "the All orders are shipped by Kbooks every business day using USPS Media Mail for American orders and Canada Post for Canada bound orders (from Toronto).
