Description:


Michael Fried casts his acute gaze on the extraordinary Renaissance painter Gerolamo Savoldo

The achievements of Italian Renaissance painter Giovanni Gerolamo Savoldo were, even during a period of unprecedented artistry, out of the ordinary. Born in Brescia around 1480, he radically reimagined Christian subjects. His surviving oeuvre of roughly fifty paintings — from the intensely poetic Tobias and the Angel to sober self-portraits — represents some of the most profound work of the period. 

In Painting with Demons, a beautifully illustrated book and the first in English devoted to the painter, Michael Fried brings his celebrated skills of looking and thinking to bear on Savoldo's art, providing a stunning contribution to our understanding both of the early modern European imagination and of the achievement of this under appreciated artist.
