A full accounting of Caravaggio's murderous genius is provided by Francine Prose's short bio, Caravaggio, which combines astute examination of his work with just a plain good yarn about a street tough who painted transcendent pictures. Read it next to your computer, so you can Google the paintings as Prose dissects them.
