<p>Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571 - 1610) was a controversial and influential Italian artist. Throughout his lifetime in the 17th century, Caravaggio lived in multiple cities around Italy where he practiced his craft. His short-lived career still allowed him time to create a stunning body of work.</p>
<p>Trained in Lombardy, Caravaggio moved to Rome around 1592, and he initially made his reputation with a number of realistic paintings of half-length figures, such as this one. This canvas was painted for his first great patron, Cardinal Francesco del Monte. Although it was described by contemporaries as una musica (a music piece), it is an allegory of music. Cupid is shown at left. The costumes have a vaguely classical look and Caravaggio included his self-portrait in the second boy from the right.</p>
