{"product_id":"rembrandt-caravaggio-9789040091353","title":"Rembrandt - Caravaggio","description":"\u003cp\u003eRembrandt - Caravaggio highlights the two geniuses of baroque painting: Rembrandt  the pre-eminent artist of the Dutch Golden Age  and his Italian counterpart Michelangelo Merisi (also known as Il Caravaggio). Both artists are considered revolutionary innovators in Northern and Southern European art  respectively. With their origins in different painting traditions  each developed an original and striking visual language. The juxtaposition in pairs of paintings by the two artists intensifies the comparison of their work. Although they never met - Caravaggio (1571-1610) died four years after the birth of Rembrandt van Rijn (1606-1669) - many parallels can be drawn between the two master painters and their oeuvres. This is the first publication to comprehensively compare the works of Rembrandt with those of Caravaggio. Exploring the use of contrasting colours and chiaroscuro  both artists achieved unexpected realistic detail.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67923761725493,"sku":"ByrdShop_9040091358","price":90.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9789040091353.jpg?v=1794113635","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/rembrandt-caravaggio-9789040091353","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
