Note:"The most notorious Italian painter of his day, Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571-1610) forever altered the course of Western painting with his artistic ingenuity and audacity. This volume presents the most important early biographies of his life: an account by his doctor, Giulio Mancini; another by one of his artistic rivals, Giovanni Baglione; and a later profile by Giovanni Pietro Bellori that demonstrates how Caravaggio's impact was felt in seventeenth-century Italy. Together, these accounts have provided almost everything that is known of this enigmatic figure." --Publisher's description.
