A question from the November 13th New York Times book
review:
"And then, of course, the wheel turned again: today, the
dirty feet of Caravaggio's models don't distract us from his
formal beauty - gosh, we're inured to Nan Goldin - and we
live in an age when anyone with a Metropolitan Museum of Art
wall calendar will instantly recognize Caravaggio's mature
style, gorgeous and stark with its dramatic angled lighting,
deeply shadowed backgrounds - did Caravaggio invent film
noir? - and muscular, often contorted figures."

By the way, this new Jonathan Harr book, THE LOST PAINTING,
is a very good read.
