Music painted naturally
The living model facing the silence of the painting
Painted for the cultivated circle of Cardinal del Monte, The Lute Player combines portrait of a young musician, still life of instruments and pages of madrigals. Caravaggio directly observes his model and gives breath, fingers and objects an immediate presence. The "Caravaggio’s Lute Players" selection notably compares The Lute Player and Lute Player. Its reading favors details.
The music cannot be heard, but the half-open mouth, the tight string and the score are enough to raise his expectations.
