Caravaggio: Palette and Sword. Book 1

Michelangelo Merisi, known as Caravaggio (1571–1610), entered history as one of the greatest painters—a sensitive, impulsive, risk-taking, and hedonistic artist. The tip of his brush carved out light and shadow, creating unforgettable works and extraordinary realism. Four centuries later, another Italian master of painting, Milo Manara, pays homage to the genius with his graphic novel.
The first book, "Palette and Sword," will tell readers about the joys and hardships of Caravaggio's early years in Rome. Since creativity is an invaluable part of life for both the main character of the book and its author, this biography, based on real facts, is also a vivid creative expression, living its own life.
