St Jerome
St Jerome - 11897
Painted by Caravaggio at the workshop of Cavalier D'Arpino. The sick basin, characterised by pallor, is actually a self-portrait of the painter (Caravaggio probably used a mirror to portray himself). A Michelangelo-esque pose is mentioned. The realisation of the natural elements is masterly; the work is also rich in symbolic references (mythological, Christian...).

The figure has been stripped of the usual attributes that would allude to the saint's identity, including the 'cloak with camel hair', and the cross with reed sticks is barely visible. On the left stands the trunk of a cypress tree. The saint is leaning to the right while looking to the left and is wrapped in red drapery.

The subject is a gypsy girl who reads the hand of a naive knight and attempts to steal the ring she wears on her hand. The pretty and unscrupulous gypsy catches the young man's attention with a mischievous smile. The focal point of the painting is the meeting of the hands of the two characters. The painting represents a typical 'genre scene'.

We see a lascivious-looking boy holding a basket of fruit. Note the first hints of psychological realism. This painting probably belongs to the painter's first Roman phase, i.e. the period of his collaboration with Cavalier D'Arpino's workshop; here he painted mainly flowers and fruit.

Judith is depicted intent on beheading Holofernes with a scimitar, while the scene is witnessed by an old servant holding the drape containing the basket in which the head is to be kept. A painting from Caravaggio's 'dark period', in fact, the characters are plunged into darkness.

Detail of Judith's face (actually portraying Caravaggio's courtesan friend Filide Melandroni) caught in a grimace of disgust and reluctance as she kills Holofernes. She has no remorse in carrying out the murder as she is a symbol of divine Salvation.

Bust of Judith seen in three-quarter view and profile of the old maid. The presence of the old maidservant holding a sack where Holofernes' head will end up serves to further emphasise Judith's beauty; it is no coincidence that Caravaggio has portrayed an ugly old maidservant next to the protagonist.

The painter tells the myth of Narcissus who fell in love with his own reflection. Caravaggio succeeds in bringing to life an almost perfectly double figure. Narcissus' arched arms follow the course of the canvas, and his stooped profile suggests a yearning and suffering gaze.

Detail of the Child crushing the serpent, symbol of original sin.The painting was rejected by the commissioners because the Child, who was too grown up to be portrayed completely nude, caused a scandal; also scandal were the Madonna's plunging neckline and the model chosen for the latter, Lena, who was a known prostitute.

The theme of Saint Jerome was one of the most frequent in Counter-Reformation painting. Caravaggio chose to depict the saint in a three-quarter profile on a horizontal format. Every element, such as the paper, the skull or the pen has a symbolic value in the painting.

The subject is a gypsy woman who reads the hand of a naive knight and manages to steal the ring she wears on her hand. The scene of the painting is a typical 'genre scene' (scene of everyday life). The painting can also be read in a moralistic key with reference to the Parable of the Prodigal Son or as a theatre scene.

Decapitated head of Goliath with open mouth and eyes. In the physiognomy of the defeated giant is a self-portrait of Caravaggio, which has provided the cue for numerous readings of the painting in a psychoanalytic key. Indeed, in the period to which the painting dates, the painter was in Naples awaiting a pardon from the Pope.
