### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A thrilling story and a great art book
*by D***N on January 11, 2003*

Peter Robb has managed to achieve a miraculous symphony in this long (500 + pages) book: It's a biography, a detective story (little is known about Caravaggio's life), a social history of Rome, and a definitive art book. As a result, you can read this book on many levels. I read it first as a "beach book" for the story, and then again, when I took a vacation to Rome and tried to see as many of his remaining paintings as I could.Robb explains how Caravaggio was a breakthrough painter in his use of light, and in his use of recognizable local models (almost all of whom Robb has been able to identify) to express the religious art of the day. Mannerism died at his hands.Moreover, Peter Robb builds a credible portrait of Caravaggio's brittle personality--it's easy to see why people were out to kill him. At first I thought the title "M" was a little contrived, but by the end of the book, I realized that it's cipher for the real man behind the familiar name. (Calling someone "Caravaggio" after the town is like giving someone the nickname "Boston").The reproductions are carefully chosen and richly presented. You'll enjoy reading--and re-reading--this wonderful book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ compelling artist, compellingly described
*by S***M on August 24, 2013*

The art of Caravaggio has always stopped me in my tracks. Peter Robb's book, M: The Man Who Became Caravaggio, help me understand why so many people were affected this way. It's not just the way he tells the story of Caravaggio's life, but how he infuses the paintings with the painter. It's not only the sketchy outline of his life, it is the times in which he lived, the city in which he lived, the people who lived there with him, and the places which are still standing, as they were in the start of the seventeenth century. If you were REQUIRED to take an art history course in college, and you have broken out in hives whenever you approached a masterpiece ever since, then this is the cure.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gritty Prose Crackles with Wit and Whips Past your Eager Eyes.
*by P***R on October 22, 2015*

The literary style was a blast, the closest we will ever get to an art biography penned by James Ellroy. I subtracted the star because some of the biographical speculations made by the author have now been proven be inaccurate elsewhere. Don't be dissuaded by stuffy reviews...It's a hell of a lot of fun and need not be definitive to be worthy of a look.
