Title: Irreverent delight
Review: Peachment led me on an engaging and entertaining adventure through Caravaggio's life. I was not the least concerned by anachronisms and inaccuracies. What I got was an "artist's impression" - and I loved it.Do yourself a favour if you plan to read this book: get hold of a book of Caravaggio's pictures so that you can study each picture while reading "Caravaggio's" description of it. I bought Timothy Wilson-Smith's "Caravaggio" and went back and reread Peachment's book. There's great delight in comparing Wilson-Smith's formal and presumably "accurate" analysis with Peachment's ("Caravaggio's") irreverent possibly inaccurate account.
