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 underappreciated artist.
"A groundbreaking book on an extraordinary artist. . . . An ambitious and encompassing view of Savoldo, critically astute and resolutely historical."--Stephen J. Campbell, Johns Hopkins University
