The Getty Museum's collection of drawings was begun in 1981 with the purchase of a Rembrandt nude and has since become an important repository of European works from the fifteenth through the nineteenth century. As in the first volume devoted to the collection (published in 1988 in English and Italian editions), the text is here organized first by national school, then alphabetically by artist, with individual works arranged chronologically. For each drawing, the authors provide a discussion of the work's style, dating, iconography, and relationship to other works, as well as provenance and a complete bibliography.

In Caravaggio, Varriano uncovers the principles and practices that guided Caravaggio's brush as he made some of the most controversial paintings in the history of art. He sheds an important new light on these disputes by tracing the autobiographical threads in Caravaggio's paintings, framing these within the context of contemporary Italian culture.
