Caravaggio was a brilliant artist who defied the aesthetic conventions of his time; his realistic portraits of the poor, the aged, criminals, and ordinary people would have a profound effect on generations of painters. Possessed of an equally defiant temperament, Caravaggio was on the run from the law at the time of his mysterious death. In Caravaggio, New York Times bestselling author Francine Prose offers an enthralling account of the life and work of one of the greatest painters of all time.

Born in 1571 near Milan, Michelangelo Merisi (da Caravaggio) was a successful artist, protected by his many wealthy and influential patrons. But he was also a man of the streets and fled Rome in 1606, after apparently killing another man. He spent his last years in exile, at once celebrated for his art and tormented by his enemies. In 1610 he received a pardon from the Pope, only to die on his way back home. With passion and sensitivity, Prose tells the story of this brilliant yet flawed man who was a true artistic innovator.

Francine Prose is the author of fifteen books of fiction, including the highly acclaimed Goldengrove. The novel A Changed Man won the Dayton Literary Peace Prize, and Blue Angel was a finalist for the National Book Award for Fiction. The nonfiction work Reading Like a Writer was a New York Times bestseller. She lives in New York City.

"Matching gorgeous prose to gorgeous artworks, Prose responds to each image as a moment of theatrical revelation, sensual or spiritual, and frequently both." -- Boston Sunday Globe

BEST REPAIR HAND AND BODY CREAM!
Size: 16 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This is the best "repair" body/hand cream I've found, and I've tried quite a few. I have dogs and cats and I garden -- so I ALWAYS have scratches and tiny puncture woulds either from cats, dogs, rose bushes or cacti; and this Eucerin body cream helps to sooth and heal them quickly. I also notice that it helps relieve dryness very well, and once it soaks in, you aren't left feeling 'greasy'. It has no perfumes, and so is unscented.

Feels great after cheap work soap hand washes
Size: 11 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This stuff is great. I reapply ALL the time because I have it at work.I wash my hands frequently and the soap at the work is very harsh, cheap, and generally just terrible on the skin.I use this after every wash and it leaves my hands and arms soft and moisturized. I have also received compliments on how nice my office smells after I apply it. While that might make it sound as if the scent is very strong, it isn't. It's nice, and lingers for a bit, but it is not overpowering or overwhelming. The tub goes a long way, and the container at my desk has lasted for months, and a little goes a long way. I appreciate that the container seals well and doesn't leak. Sometimes when I take other lotions on the go with me, I worry that the little flap top will open up and make a mess. That is not a problem with this jar AT ALL. It is easy to close and stays closed, even when I throw it in my bag and then throw my bag around a bit in transport.
