Caravaggio was one of the Finest Painters Ever. Which of these Masterpieces do you think was his best?
Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (September 28, 1571 – 18 July 1610) was an Italian artist active in Rome, Naples, Malta and Sicily between 1593 and 1610 (
from Wikipedia.)
Here is a source for high-resolution (for the internet, anyway) scans of his work, at the Art Renewal Center. I love the Art Renewal Center; I use them for my own reproductions.

Yes, they do.
do lizards bite?
Funny, I'm learning about him on my Art History class. Really nice.
Ok, I saw something, but it kind of looks like a cockroach.
I was going to sass you, but instead decided to point out that the lizard is very dark, and is biting the boy's middle finger on his right hand
You'd have to ask Caravaggio. I didn't paint it!
Ok, where is the lizard, why does that boy have a flower in his hair & why does he look 30 years old?
