Author Description

Caravaggio to Canaletto - A stunning exhibition catalogue from the Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest. The catalogue seeks to provide a comprehensive picture of Italian Baroque and Rococo painting, containing numerous new research results pertaining to issues of attribution, iconography and collecton history relating to the discussed period. The exhibition catalogue charts the twin-track rise of the post-Renaissance naturalism of Caravaggio and his followers - reaching scandalous heights as early as 1593 with his Boy with a Basket of Fruit - and the formal classicism of Carracci and Reni.
