After staying in Milan for his apprenticeship; Michelangelo da Caravaggio arrived in Rome in 1592. There he started to paint with both realism and psychological analysis of the sitters. Caravaggio was as temperamental in his painting as in his wild life. As he also responded to prestigious Church commissions; his dramatic style and his realism were seen as unacceptable. Chiaroscuro had existed well before he came on the scene; but it was Caravaggio who made the technique definitive; darkening the shadows and transfixing the subject in a blinding shaft of light. His influence was immense; firstly through those who were more or less directly his disciples. Famous during his lifetime; Caravaggio had a great influence upon Baroque art. The Genoese and Neapolitan Schools derived lessons from him; and the great movement of Spanish painting in the seventeenth century was connected with these schools. In the following generations the best endowed painters oscillated between the lessons of Caravaggio and the Carracci.

The outlines of the silhouettes are very heavy and dark. The panda image is much too black and wasteful of ink.If this was the only kindle adult coloring book available I would be OK with it but there are much better options available.The print link is in Dropbox; making it a bit tedious; although it is doable.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Animals to make your day happy.By M E LutherMy new addiction is coloring books; helps me calm down; helps me relax; and for awhile just escape from life. My imagination is allowed to be as wild as I want; or as pretty or happy or sad; no matter my feeling; I can make the pages just mine. The best part is that with each new book; I find new ideas for colors; or textures. Easy to take with me when we camp. Glad I found these coloring books for adults.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. This was not goodBy miri pugI chose this rating because I thought that you got to print out the pages and color them.I recommended this for people who want to have advice on how to color not print it out.
