El evangelio según Caravaggio

Michelangelo Merisi, Il Caravaggio, was the genius who revolutionized painting and whose work continues to fascinate all who encounter his art. This essential novel rigorously and sensitively reconstructs his life and offers us a new perspective, one that departs from the legend of the violent and dangerous man constructed by his enemies and reveals the free, innovative, and profoundly human artist who always remained true to the truth of what he saw and felt. Caravaggio painted virgins and angels, saints and the poor, tormented souls and unrestrained passions. He painted as he lived: on the edge. In palaces and churches, among prostitutes and aristocrats; admired by cardinals and hated by those who envied his talent. Jaime de los Santos delves into rumors and certainties to narrate, with his captivating prose and an extraordinary work of historical recreation, the intensity of his passions, the truth of his origins and the purity of an art that would influence, centuries later, another genius, Pier Paolo Pasolini, with whom he shares vision, obsessions and desires.
