Painting in Rome : Caravaggio and beyond / Letizia Treves -- Caravaggio and Britain : Early appreciation, later criticism and missed opportunities / Letizia Treves -- A Scottish connection : William Hamilton Nisbet and the Mattei collection / Aiden Weston-Lewis -- Catalogue. Painting from life : Caravaggio's early years in Rome ; Success and patronage in Rome : Caravaggio's immediate circle ; Admirers and imitators : Caravaggio and his Italian followers ; In pursuit of Caravaggio : Painting in Naples ; The International Caravaggesque movement : Caravaggio's legacy.

Summary: The Italian painter known as Caravaggio (1571-1610) claims a place among the most revolutionary figures in the history of art. His intense naturalism, almost brutal realism, and dramatic use of light had a wide impact on European painters, including Orazio Gentileschi, Valentin de Boulogne, and Gerrit van Honthorst. Each of Caravaggio's followers absorbed something different from his work, propagating his stylistic legacy across Europe. In this extensively illustrated catalogue, Letizia Treves introduces the international Caravaggesque movement and traces the distinct artistic personalities of its leading players. Even now, Caravaggio's name overshadows the other talented artists who adopted his approach to narrative painting: the use of theatrical lighting to illuminate a story encapsulated in a single, dramatic moment. Treves explains the innovative and unifying features of these painters' work and how, despite resistance to their style and subject matter, many outstanding Caravaggesque pictures found their way into important collections.
