Summary:

Caravaggio was a master of Italian Baroque painting who rose from obscurity to fame and wealth, but whose personal demons led him to commit murder and flee Rome as a hunted man. Scholars believe that some of Caravaggio's masterpieces have been forgotten and lie hidden in some storeroom or parish church. Jonathan Harr's search for a long-lost painting known as The taking of Christ is both history and a detective story as he relates the circumstances of its disappearance and its mysterious fate.
