| Description: |
A Profound New Look at the Italian Master and His Lasting Legacy |
| Synopsis: |
First time in paperback.Offers a fresh new look at Caravaggio in his final years, focusing on his "The Seven Acts of Mercy," and its back story in his flight to escape retribution for murder, and its lasting influence.More than just a biography or the study of a great painter, this book is a narrative history that uses the painting to connect Caravaggio's life and times and painting with an exploration of modern-day Italian society and structure.First published in Pope Francis' proclaimed Jubilee of Mercy, The Guardian of Mercy ties in to the ongoing campaign to promote mercy in human relationship. The author spoke at the Vatican on September 1, 2016, echoing this theme.The painting (still located in the church of Pio Monte della Misericordia in Naples, for which it was made) has special relevance now that Pope Francis has stressed a return to the works of mercy depicted in Caravaggio's painting and embraces living by them. |
