5.0 out of 5 stars An art lovers’ dream. It is good to see that beautifully made and composed books is not a lost art.
This book is a treasure for anyone who is a bibliophile, or interested in the life and work of Caravaggio as a student, a lover of art history, or all four. The illustrations in this volume are all new, which makes it instantly worth having as you will not see this quality and persecutive of photography in any other publication on the work of this artist. The history of the artist and his work is brilliantly presented and researched: this is a treasure trove of information.The volume is beautifully made and organised so that it functions as a wonderful biography and as a catalogue of a complete retrospective of the art of Caravaggio. As a book, it is a tribute to the 40th anniversary of Taschen.
5.0 out of 5 stars Caravaggio-Such a treat!
This book is pure visual drama. Every page slaps you with shadows, blood, and raw emotion—the man didn’t paint, he provoked. Taschen nailed it with killer print quality and commentary that doesn’t bore you to death. If you want to feel something deep, dark, and delicious, this is your bible.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great worth the money
Very good
5.0 out of 5 stars Oversized Caravaggio at your fingertips
An enormous coffee-table book about Caravaggio, including beautiful illustrations
5.0 out of 5 stars Outsanding presentation of the works of a master
As a professional artist, I revel in my collection of books displaying the artwork of the great masters and this volume shines at the top of them all. The brilliant and sharp imagery on page after page draws you further and further into the appreciation of his technique as well as just the simple beauty of his compositions. I enjoy the way you get the full image of a painting then subsequent pages showing details worth studying. My favorite, The Calling of St. Matthew, is presented on a 3-page, fold out display so that you can soak up the entire masterpiece in one wide view and not miss a single detail. Anyone serious about art history will appreciate adding this volume to their collection. If you are a painter, it is more than worth your investment.
5.0 out of 5 stars Pages and pages of this famous artist’s paintings!
I have always loved Caravaggio’s work, and this beautifully printed book didn’t disappoint! The man may have been a bit of a bad-tempered nut job, but his talent for painting people and objects using the play of light and dark known as chiaroscuro (a technique first used by da Vinci) made him one of the world’s most famous painters.If you want to know more about his turbulent life, read “Caravaggio, A Life” by Helen Langdon, or any of the other biographies about him.
4.0 out of 5 stars A visually well done book, personally would get the bigger edition
This book is visually very pretty and well assembled... And the biographical information that I've thumbed through so far seems interesting and has made me want to read it which I don't always feel that way about some artist coffee table booksThey have nice blowups of scenes from Caravaggio's work...But I'm a little torn on the book's overall size.. it was a little smaller than I expected it to be. I feel like if you want a biography on Caravaggio alongside his work that is easier to hold and read, this book is prob a good choice for you versus a true coffee table sized book.If you're looking for a larger sized coffee table volume that really shows off his works as a whole, this might not be it. This version would be good for someone on a budget or someone who wants a more portable version.His work is so good and it’s showcased so well, would get the XL edition if you want a showcase of his work
5.0 out of 5 stars A Gorgeous Caravaggio Collection for Any Coffee Table
The size is perfect for a large coffee table, making it both a beautiful display piece and a great conversation starter!
Vale la pena di leggere
Dopo aver letto questo libro, mi è piaciuto molto.
💯 recomendable! Vale muchísimo la pena
Una maravilla de libro
表紙だけでもいい
やはり本格的な画家の全集、って最低でも、このぐらいの大きさになるんだと思います。40×30（電話帳より二回りぐらい大きいかな？）ぐらいですが、表紙のこの有名な絵だけでも、「買ってよかった」です。絵を観るのにあんまりレクチャーとか要らないって思っているので、洋書でOK、って感じでした。安くなってるし、海外からの輸送での破損はなかったです。おすすめ。（2020年1月 追記）美術館のショップで、この書の「日本語バージョン」と思われるものがありました。値段は2万弱、だったでしょうか。 こっちのほうがおすすめです。
İnanılmaz
Yorumlarda kitabı küçük bulduğunu söyleyenleri görünce 35 santimlik devasa bir kitabı insanlar nasıl küçük bulabilmiş diye düşünmüştüm, sonradan fark ettim ki bu kitabın bir de küçük versiyonu var. Aynı yayın evi, aynı kapak hemen hemen; ve iki farklı kitabın yorumlarını birleştirip ürün sayfalarına eklemişler yani aynı yorumlar hem o kitapta hem bu kitapta var, o açıdan bir kafa karışıklığı yaşadım ama benim aldığım DEVASA olan kitap, ağırlığı 3 kiloya yakın boyu 35 cm dediğim gibi eni 26 cm. Sanatçı ve eserleri hakkında bir şey söylememe gerek yok; resim kalitesi hakkında söyleyebilirim: harika çözünürlük, kusursuz kitap.
Sehr schön
Sehr schön gemacht, inhaltlich sowie gestalterisch.
