Tucked inside a tiny church in Naples hangs one of the wonders of Italian art. This altarpiece by the painter Caravaggio offers a radical and fresh take on human solidarity, the cornerstone of all faiths. The unusual true story told in this book unfolds through the eyes of Angelo, who guards the painting as if it were his own. The seven Acts of Mercy was created four hundrede years ago while Caravaggio was fleeing his murder conviction and the dreaded Roman police. It carries a visionary message. Brimming with suspense, color, and contrast, the narrative follows the painter through a succession of offerings: food for the hungry, water to the thirsty, a roof for those without, clothes for the naked, care for the sick and those behind bars, and burials for the dead.
