{"product_id":"9781857097207","title":"The Last Caravaggio","description":"\u003cp\u003eA focus on Caravaggio's last work, The Martyrdom of Saint Ursula, telling the story of an empowered female saint � In early May 1610, Caravaggio finished painting The Martyrdom of Saint Ursula. Two months later, he was dead, having been disfigured in a brawl and become ill while trying to return from exile to Rome.    � Caravaggio is one of the most famous and instantly recognisable artists in the world. His paintings open a vivid and startlingly modern window onto the seventeenth century, while his�own turbulent life story, characterised by violence, murder, exile, and untimely death, remains a source of fascination. Few paintings are better placed to tell this story than The Martyrdom of Saint Ursula. Here, violence takes place at uncomfortably close quarters�as Caravaggio, whose own self portrait is included, looks on helplessly.    � Published by National Gallery Global\/Distributed by Yale University Press �Exhibition Schedule: �National Gallery, London (April 18-July 14, 2024). It is not a travelling exhibition; however, the National Gallery is borrowing the painting from the Gallerie d'Italia in Naples.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rye Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45470592106717,"sku":"9781857097207","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/1368\/0730\/files\/9781857097207.jpg?v=1720188498","url":"https:\/\/ryebooks.co.uk\/products\/9781857097207","provider":"Rye Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
