"Luxury, violence, squalor, disaster, passion: Such were the characteristics that marked the life of Michelangelo Merisi (1571-1610), called Caravaggio, the unruly genius of seventeenth-century painting. Sensationalized for employing prostitutes and bandits as models for his gritty, erotic paintings of religious and mythological subjects Caravaggio spread controversy throughout the art world and the pious society of his era. Often referred to as the first modern painter, Caravaggio was certainly a giant of his time and would come to bear influence on such singular artists as Rembrandt and Velazquez. His baroque masterpieces, reproduced in this compact volume, revolutionized painting and set the stage for a new, psychological pictorial realism."--BOOK JACKET.

This study focuses on three paintings done by Caravaggio for the two Mattei brothers - a cardinal and a marquis who shared the family palace and, for a time, had Caravaggio as a house guest. The Mattei family has been given short shrift in the literature about Caravaggio, which otherwise has rightly devoted great attention to his patrons. This context enriches our understanding of the paintings - the "Pastor Friso," often dubiously said to represent John the Baptist, the Supper at Emmaus in the London National Gallery, and the newly rediscovered Kiss of Judas in Dublin - then implicates wider contexts, including a comparative study of the artist's most famous works, the Matthew cycle in the Contarelli chapel, and his other patrons, specifically Cardinal Del Monte. An examination of these relationships allows valuable insight into the question of Caravaggio's "naturalist style," his peers, and his period.
