In the foreground is a magnificent still life of fruit, with a rose and sprig of jasmine in a glass vase. Look closely and you can see the reflection of a room in the curved surface of the vase. The painting may have an allegorical meaning, and possibly refers to the pain that can derive from love.\n\nThis picture is the earliest of our three Caravaggios and was probably painted in Rome in the mid-1590s, when the artist was beginning to find fame with his compelling and innovative style. It is very unusual for a late sixteenth-century painting to show such a moment of action, but Caravaggio rejected artistic convention and painted directly onto the canvas from live models. This gave his works an immediacy and intensity that made them instantly popular. Numerous early seventeenth-century copies and derivations of this painting exist, including a high-quality replica in the Fondazione Longhi, Florence, considered by many to be by Caravaggio himself.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgallery.org.uk\/paintings\/michelangelo-merisi-da-caravaggio-boy-bitten-by-a-lizard\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"National Gallery of Art London - Boy bitten by a Lizard\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eNational Gallery of Art, London\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Michelangelo Merisi Da Caravaggio","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":50509853360371,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (26\" x 19 1\/2\")","offer_id":50509853393139,"sku":null,"price":913.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (20 5\/8\" x 15 1\/2\")","offer_id":50509853425907,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (25 1\/4\" x 19\")","offer_id":50509853458675,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (31\" x 23 1\/4\")","offer_id":50509853491443,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (40\" x 30 1\/8\")","offer_id":50509853524211,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (48\" x 36\")","offer_id":50509853556979,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (56 5\/8\" x 42 5\/8\")","offer_id":50509853589747,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (67 7\/8\" x 50 7\/8\")","offer_id":50509853622515,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/BoybittenbyaLizard.jpg?v=1788826484","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/boy-bitten-by-a-lizard-ngal1255","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
