Oil Painting "Jupiter Neptune And Pluto" from Caravaggio - Michelangelo Merisi - Buy Hand Painted Oil Reproduction

Jupiter Neptune and Pluto (c. 1597) is a painting by Italian Baroque master Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio. It is located in the casino of the Villa Ludovisi Rome. It is unusually painted in oils on plaster. Oil painting is normally on canvas or less frequently on wood. According to an early biographer one of Caravaggio s aims was to discredit critics who claimed that he had no grasp of perspective. The three figures demonstrate the most dramatic foreshortening imaginable. They contradict claims that Caravaggio always painted from live models. The painting was done for Caravaggio s patron Cardinal Francesco Maria Del Monte and painted on the ceiling of the cardinal s garden villa at porta Pinciana where the cardinal dabbled in alchemy. Caravaggio has painted an allegory of the alchemical triad of Paracelsus: Jupiter stands for sulphur and air Neptune for mercury and water and Pluto for salt and earth. Each figure is identified by his beast: Jupiter by the eagle Neptune by the hippocamp and Pluto by the three-headed dog Cerberus. Jupiter is reaching out to move the celestial sphere in which the Sun revolves around the Earth. Galileo was a friend of Del Monte but had yet to make his mark on cosmology.

Oil Painting "The Inspiration Of Saint Matthew" from Caravaggio - Michelangelo Merisi - Buy Hand Painted Oil Reproduction

The Inspiration of Saint Matthew (1602) is a painting by the Italian master Caravaggio. Commissioned by the French Cardinal Matteo Contarelli the canvas hangs in Contarelli chapel altar in the church of the French congregation San Luigi dei Francesi in Rome Italy. It is one of three Caravaggio canvases in the chapel: hanging between the larger earlier canvases of The Martyrdom of Saint Matthew and The Calling of Saint Matthew. This was not an easy commission for Caravaggio and at least two of the three paintings had to be either replaced or repainted to satisfy his patron the Cardinal Del Monte. It is instructive to compare the two versions of the latter painting to see how provocative and controversial Caravaggio was in his time. Unfortunately the first rejected version of this theme was destroyed in World War II and we only have black and white reproductions. In the first version the angel invades St Matthew s personal space and indulges in what appears more an erotic nudging than divine inspiration. The nubile angel intertwines with the old man apparently whispering inspiration into his ear. The rejected painting can be compared to the earlier Caravaggio canvas of the Rest on the Flight into Egypt.

Painting "The Sacrifice Of Isaac, 1601" from Caravaggio - Michelangelo Merisi - Buy Hand Painted Oil Reproduction

The Sacrifice of Isaac is the title of two paintings by the Italian master Caravaggio (1571–1610). The second Sacrifice of Isaac is housed in the Uffizi Gallery Florence. According to the early biographer Giovanni Bellori Caravaggio painted a version of this subject for Cardinal Maffeo Barberini the future Pope Urban VIII and a series of payments totalling one hundred scudi were made to the artist by Barberini between May 1603 and January 1604. Caravaggio had previously painted a Portrait of Maffeo Barberini which presumably pleased the cardinal enough for him to commission this second painting. Isaac has been identified as Cecco Boneri who appeared as Caravaggio s model in several other pictures. Recent X-ray analysis showed that Caravaggio used Cecco also for the angel and later modified the profile and the hair to hide the resemblance.

Painting "Boy Bitten By A Lizard - Florence" from Caravaggio - Michelangelo Merisi - Buy Hand Painted Oil Reproduction

Boy Bitten by a Lizard ((Italian) Ragazzo morso da un ramarro) is a painting by the Italian Baroque painter Caravaggio. It exists in two versions both believed to be authentic one in the Fondazione Roberto Longhi in Florence the other in the National Gallery London. Both are thought to date from the period 1594-1596 but given that it has all the signs of the early works painted in the household of Caravaggio s sophisticated patron Cardinal Francesco Del Monte and that Caravaggio didn t enter the Cardinal s Palazzo Madama until some time in 1595 the later end of this period seems more likely. The differences between the two versions are infinitesimal. As with all of Caravaggio s early output much remains conjectural. The model for the boy may have been Mario Minniti Caravaggio s companion and the model for several other paintings from the period - the bouffant dark curly hair and pursed lips look similar but in other pictures such as Boy with a Basket of Fruit and The Fortune Teller Mario doesn t look so effeminate. The affected pose may have been the inevitable result of the experiment Caravaggio appears to have been undertaking here: observing and recording acute emotions - surprise and fear - in a situation where real surprise was impossible and where the pose had to be held for a considerable period.

The Portrait of Fra Antonio Martelli (c. 1607/1608) is a painting by the Italian master Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio in the Palazzo Pitti Florence.

Painting "Salome With The Head Of St John, The Baptist 1609" from Caravaggio - Michelangelo Merisi - Buy hand painted oil reproduction

Salome with the Head of John the Baptist (Madrid) c. 1609 is a painting by the Italian master Caravaggio in the Palacio Real Madrid. The early Caravaggio biographer Giovanni Bellori writing in 1672 records the artist sending a Salome with the Head of John the Baptist from Naples to the Grand Master of the Knights of Malta Fra Alof de Wignacourt in the hope of regaining favour after having been expelled from the Order in 1608. It seems likely that this is the work according to Caravaggio scholar John Gash. Gash also notes that the executioner looking down at the severed head helps transform the painting from a provocative spectacle into a profound meditation on death and human malevolence.
