34. Boy with a Basket of Fruit

Caravaggio, currently in the Galleria Borghese, Rome.
Caravaggio is being realistic, in capturing only what was in the fruit basket; he idealizes neither their
ripeness nor their arrangement—yet almost miraculously, we are still drawn in to look at it; for the viewer it
is very much a beautiful subject.
