Quotes
"Racy, intensely imagined, and highly readable . . . Prose brings to Caravaggio a fresh and unflinching eye."
- New York Times Book Review

- Entertainment Weekly
"Tautly written and insightful."
- Seattle Times
"In this engaging and informative short biography . . . Prose vividly brings [Caravaggio's] paintings to life."
- Los Angeles Times Book Review
