Title: CARAVAGGIO in Film and Literature : Popular Culture’s Appropriation of a Baroque Genius
Author: Rorato, Laura
Price: Not Available
ISBN: 9781909662001
Description: London: Legenda, 2014. 25cm., hardcover, 226pp. illus. Summary: Although fictional responses to Caravaggio date back to the painter’s lifetime (1571-1610), it was during the second half of the twentieth century that interest in him took off outside the world of art history. In this new monograph, the first book-length study of Caravaggio’s recent impact, Rorato provides a panoramic overview of his appropriation by popular culture. The extent of the Caravaggio myth, and its self-perpetuating nature, are brought out by a series of case studies involving authors and directors from numerous countries (Italy, Great Britain, America, Canada, France and Norway) and literary and filmic texts from a number of genres — from straightforward tellings of his life to crime fiction, homoerotic film and postcolonial literature.
