Robb reconstructs the painter’s volatile existence—his violent encounters, radical artistic innovations, and fugitive years—with narrative intensity and scholarly depth. He argues that Caravaggio’s realism and chiaroscuro technique revolutionized Baroque painting, while his defiance of convention mirrored the social and religious upheavals of his time. The biography challenges sanitized interpretations, illustrating a man whose genius thrived amid chaos and contradiction. Robb’s portrait commands attention for its fearless interpretation and literary force.
