520 A decaying palazzo on a hilltop near the Adriatic coast,
and in the basement, cobwebbed and dusty, an archive
unknown to scholars. Here, a young graduate student from
Rome makes a discovery that inspires a search for a
painting lost for almost two centuries. The artist was
Caravaggio, a revolutionary painter beset by personal
demons. Four hundred years ago, he drank and brawled in
the taverns and streets of Rome, in and out of jail, all
the while painting transcendent works. He rose from
obscurity to fame and wealth, but success didn't alter his
violent temperament. He died young, alone, and under
strange circumstances. Caravaggio scholars estimate that
between sixty and eighty of his works are in existence
today. Many others--no one knows the precise number--have
been lost to time. Somewhere, surely, a masterpiece lies
forgotten. This quest is a synthesis of history and
detective story.--From publisher description.
