Description

"Accessibly written, this handsomely illustrated book combines an account of works by Manfredi, Valentin, Tournier, Regnier, and Ribera with a detailed study of Cecco del Caravaggio's Resurrection (1619-20), and concludes by surveying a group of paintings by Guercino, a painter not counted among the Caravaggisti, but whose strategies in relation to the viewer aligned him with their interests. Fried moves with agility between broad and focused fields of vision. In his final remarks, he makes a compelling case for understanding these paintings in relation to the thought of Rene Descartes." -- Book jacket.
