Many of the greatest and most beloved works of Western art were executed as commissions for Papal Jubilees, sacred years of papal decress during which sins could be pardoned, slaves freed, and debts forgiven. Pope Boniface VIII proclaimed the first Christian Jubilee in 1300, and the tradition continues today. In this exquisite volume, the bounty of this inspired art is faithfully reproduced in the first major artbook on the subject. 
Over the centuries, the greatest artists of the day-including Caravaggio, Bernini, Fra Angelico, Masaccio, Matisse, and Chagall-were chosen to bring their creative vision to this sacred occasion. For Jubilee 2000, Pope John Paul II called upon Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Rauschenberg, and architect Richard Meier for major new works. These new works, along with the brilliant creations that preceded them over the centuries, are gloriously showcased in this stunning tribute that will captivate art loves of all faiths.

History & Criticism

Rizzoli

This is a magnificently illustrated and informative introduction to the life and works of Italian Master painter Caravaggio. This magnificently illustrated series of monographs explore the lives and works of some of the most famous, influential, and talented artists throughout history. Each volume features a number of insightful essays by leading experts, a comprehensive chronology - set in an historical and artistic context, and a bibliography for ideas on further reading. This volume focuses on the work of Italian artist Caravaggio (1571-1610) whose innovative use of the chiaroscuro technique and intense emotional realism - along with his notorious antics outside the studio - made him a household name among collectors during his lifetime. However, Caravaggio was almost ignored after his death, and it was only during the 20th century that critics rediscovered his work and realised the profound influence he had on the Baroque style.
