Caravaggio. Pardon. Vol. 2

Michelangelo Merisi, known as Caravaggio (1571–1610), entered history as one of the greatest artists — sensitive, impulsive, prone to risk and hedonism. The tip of his brush carved light and shadows, creating unforgettable works and extraordinary realism. Four centuries later, another Italian master of drawing, Milo Manara, pays tribute to the genius with his graphic novel.
The second volume, "Pardon," depicts Caravaggio as a figure that is both heroic and tragic, yet not devoid of all human qualities. The plausibility of the artist's life is unquestionable, as if Manara were recounting what he saw with his own eyes, with boundless respect for a colleague so distant in time, yet close in sensitivity and creative intentions.
