Studies on Caravaggio and the Maltese context

Before the mid-70s there hardly existed any extensive and comprehensive studies of Caravaggio’s last four years of life in which he produced his greatest masterpieces. Over the last thirty years a surprising variety of studies have been published - containing unpublished documentary sources for Caravaggio’s biography and the chronology of his works, and also fresh analyses both of his iconography and his technique with accounts showing the correspondence between his equally revolutionary content and style.
