This captivating book illustrates the notion of \"Caravaggism \" showcasing 65 works by Peter Paul Rubens and other important artists of the period who drew inspiration from Caravaggio. Also depicted are Caravaggio canvases that fully exhibit his distinctive style  along with ones that had a particularly discernible impact on other practitioners. Caravaggios influence was greatest in Rome  where his works were seen by the largest and most international group of artists  and was at its peak in the early decades of the 17th century both before and after his untimely death at the age of 39. Not since Michelangelo or Raphael has one European artist affected so many of his contemporaries and over such broad geographic territory. Essays by an array of major Caravaggio scholars illuminate the underlying principles of the exhibit  reveal how Caravaggio altered the presentation and interpretation of many traditional subjects and inspired unusual new ones  and explore the artists legacy and how he irrevocably changed the course of painting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45652466270261,"sku":"ByrdShop_0300170726","price":111.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780300170726.jpg?v=1781851619","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/caravaggio-and-his-followers-in-rome-9780300170726","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
