Art Book Club: Caravaggio

Join fellow art and book lovers for a discussion of Andrew Graham-Dixon's seminal biography, Caravaggio: a Life Sacred and Profane. This discussion is intended to complement The Brilliance of Caravaggio: Four Paintings in Focus. 

From the publisher's website: "Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571–1610) lived the darkest and most dangerous life of any of the great painters. This commanding biography explores Caravaggio’s staggering artistic achievements, his volatile personal trajectory, and his tragic and mysterious death at age thirty-eight. Featuring more than eighty full-color reproductions of the artist’s best paintings, Caravaggio is a masterful profile of the mercurial painter."

This event is free, but registration is required. To register, please email library@toleodmuseum.org or call 419-254-5770, and provide your name, email address and phone number.
