Author Reading | Terence Ward discusses his book The Guardian of Mercy: How an Extraordinary Painting by Caravaggio Changed an Ordinary Life Today


Now celebrated as one of the great painters of the Renaissance, Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio fled Rome in 1606 to escape retribution for killing a man in a brawl. Three years later he was in Naples, where he painted The Seven Acts of Mercy. A year later he died at the age of thirty-eight under mysterious circumstances. Exploring Caravaggio's singular masterwork, The Guardian of Mercy offers an incredible narrative journey into the heart of his artistry and his metamorphosis from fugitive to visionary.
