Caravaggio's *Madonna and Child with St. Anne*, painted between 1605 and 1606, exemplifies Italian Baroque art through its dramatic use of light and shadow and its realistic portrayal of religious figures.
Painted between 1605 and 1606, Caravaggio's *Madonna and Child with St. Anne* is a striking example of Italian Baroque art. The painting depicts the Virgin Mary, her mother Saint Anne, and the infant Jesus, who is shown stepping on a snake, a symbol of original sin. Caravaggio's use of tenebrism, a dramatic contrast between light and dark, heightens the emotional intensity of the scene. The figures emerge from a dark background, illuminated by a strong, directional light that sculpts their forms and emphasises their expressions. The Virgin Mary is depicted with a realistic, almost earthy quality, a departure from the idealised representations common in earlier Renaissance art. Saint Anne, portrayed as an older woman, stands behind Mary, her face etched with a sense of quiet contemplation. The infant Jesus, nude and active, adds a dynamic element to the composition. The painting's naturalism and its rejection of idealised beauty were controversial at the time, but it also marked a significant shift in the development of Baroque painting. The work is currently held in the Musée du Louvre, Paris.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
Caravaggio
Killed a man over a tennis match, fled Rome, and spent his last four years painting on the run. His use of light changed European painting permanently.
