EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Caravaggio's masterpiece, "Boy Bitten by a Lizard" painted between 1595 and 1600. The oil on canvas painting measures 66x49.5 cm and is housed in the prestigious National Gallery in London, UK. Caravaggio, also known as Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, was an Italian artist of the Baroque period. The image depicts a young boy caught in a moment of surprise and shock as he is bitten by a lizard. This allegorical scene combines elements of still life with symbolic objects such as jasmine flowers, cherries, and fruit arranged around a glass vase. The reflection captured within the vase adds depth to the composition. Caravaggio's mastery lies not only in his technical skill but also in his ability to evoke emotions through his art. In this particular piece, he captures the boy's genuine astonishment at being bitten by an unexpected creature. This print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate Caravaggio's unique style characterized by dramatic lighting and realistic details. It serves as a reminder of the artist's significant contributions during both the Renaissance and Baroque periods.
