"Boy Bitten by a Lizard(1593)", Caravaggio

About the Artwork

“Boy Bitten by a Lizard” (Italian: Ragazzo morso da un ramarro) by the Italian Baroque painter Caravaggio is a captivating masterpiece that transcends time. In this oil painting, an effeminate youth with curling locks and full lips recoils in surprise as a lizard clings tenaciously to his finger. Caught mid-motion, the boy’s startled expression etches raw emotion onto the canvas. The arrangement of various fruits—a pomegranate, cherries, and a nearby vase of flowers—adds to the exquisite still-life studies. Caravaggio’s meticulous brushwork captures light and shadow, infusing depth into each element.
