Understanding Caravaggio and his Art in Malta is a guidebook about the artists stay in Malta in early 17th century. Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio's art single-handedly revolutionalized artistic concepts and ideas. His artistic career and turbulent life were over before he reached 40 years of age, but he successfully managed to achieve much in so little time. His art was a source of inspiration for numerous followers and Malta still cherishes his legacy long after the few months he spent on the island 400 years ago.
