Caravaggio should be reveling in prosperity, but the artistic trailblazer and nefarious street-brawler is his own worst enemy. While the genius paints masterpieces, the ruffian in him can't stay out of jail. Caravaggio is a man at existential odds with himself until falling in love with Lena Antognetti, the prostitute modeling his newest Virgin pictures. Caravaggio paints Lena into a life of wealth and celebrity, but the power couple's provocative fame earns them a horde of resentful and jealous enemies. \u003ci\u003eI, Caravaggio\u003c\/i\u003e dramatizes the superstar's psychological unraveling under the sexual and political pressures of the Catholic Reformation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Clash Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/25\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781955904759\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 342","brand":"Eugenio Volpe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42935700455605,"sku":"9781955904759","price":16.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_1189eb94-2f10-4e85-a71a-8c993ba40510.jpg?v=1688492360","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/i-caravaggio-9781955904759","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
