1. CARAVAGGIO (1572-1610) Chalk Portrait

2. Boy with a Basket of Fruit, 1593 Caravaggio perhaps painted this work to show off his skill as a painter. What about this painting shows skill?

3. The Supper at Emmaus, 1601

4. Boy Bitten by Lizard, 1593-94 Where is the lizard?

5. The Cardsharps, 1594 Who is being cheated? Who is signaling the card holding? How can you tell?

6. The Calling of St. Matthew, 1599-1602 Notice how dark it is inside. Why do you think that is? Remember how important light was in the cathedrals we saw last time.

7. Conversion of St. Paul, 1601 In the painting, the light is part of the miracle expressed in the story and thus unseen by the servant. Does the light look miraculous or mysterious? Why or why not? The servant is also not bathed in the light, since the light is seen only by Paul.

8. Portrait of a Knight of Malta, 1608 Do the dark tones make the painting more serious than it would be if other colors were used? Why or why not? Is emphasis on the Maltese cross or on the man?
