DEREK JARMAN
Caravaggio

First Edition
Thames & Hudson, 1986

Caravaggio accompanies Derek Jarman's acclaimed feature film inspired by the life and work of the Italian Baroque painter Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio. Combining the complete film script with Jarman's commentary and production photographs by Gerald Incandela, the book documents the making of the film while recording its carefully composed tableaux, translating the dramatic light, colour, and composition of Caravaggio's paintings into cinema. Blending historical biography with contemporary politics and queer identity, the film reimagines the artist's life through Jarman's distinctive visual language.
