Omschrijving
Milo Manara’s Caravaggio: The Palette and the Sword Book 2, the
second half of Manara’s epic two-volume biography of the hot-tempered
Italian master painter, depicts the tragedy of his years on
the run for killing a man in a duel in Rome. With a price on his
head, Caravaggio flees to Naples, Malta, and Sicily — continuing
to paint and desperately hoping his work will earn him a pardon
from the Pope.
Caravaggio: The Palette and the Sword Book 1 and Caravaggio:
The Palette and the Sword Book 2 — the latter available in English for
the first time — mark the return of Milo Manara to U.S. readers and the
debut of a new series of affordable graphic novels from Fantagraphics of
maestro Manara’s internationally acclaimed work. This second volume
also includes an exquisite portfolio of Caravaggio’s paintings from the
1600s, created during his exile from Rome.
