Book Overview

Many critics have explored the homoerotic message in the early portraits of the baroque painter Michelangelo Caravaggio (1573-1610). In this text the authors emphasize instead the impenetrability of these portraits. The tension between erotic invitation and self-concealing retreat leads them to conclude that the interest of these works is in their representation of an enigmatic address that solicit intimacy in order to block it with a secret.
