About this title

Synopsis

One of the great landscape and history painters of the seventeenth century, Salvator Rosa was also a talented musician, a notable comic actor, a prolific correspondent, and a successful satirist and poet. This elegantly written biography tells the story of Rosa`s creative life, art, and times; his wayward temperament; his furious insistence on the independence of the artist; and his influence on the art and literature of later centuries.
