Caravaggio

Milo Manara, the legendary Italian comics artist, both wrote and drew this two-issue series for Panini Deutschland, released between 2015 and 2019. Co-written with Michael Bregel, the comic offers a vivid, painterly look at the life and violent passions of the Baroque master Caravaggio, rendered in Manara’s unmistakably lush, dramatic style. It’s a compact, visually sumptuous biographical portrait that brings the artist’s tumultuous era to life with cinematic flair.
