Inside Caravaggio, Hardcover

An innovative project that, thanks to new diagnostic technologies, sheds light inside Caravaggio.

Caravaggio's technique has been studied in unprecedented depth and detail as part of a project promoted by the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage, which since 2009 has carried out a vast campaign of diagnostic tests analysing the twenty-two signed works by Caravaggio still found in Rome.

This catalogue offers a unique opportunity to explore Caravaggio's extraordinary artistic production from a wholly new perspective. It will present twenty masterpieces by Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, which will be shown together at the Milanese exhibition in 2017 for the very first time ever. Caravaggio remains a mystery that continues to fascinate us today, and the aim of this initiative is to look Inside Caravaggio with the help of the latest diagnostic techniques that represent the new frontier for knowledge in art history as well as in the field of conservation.

Rossella Vodret was superintendent of Rome Museums. She curated the 2010 exhibition at the Scuderie del Quirinale honoring the 400th anniversary of Caravaggio's death.
