When I first saw this painting I was fascinated by the detail and realism of the fruit and this has inspired me over many years to reach that standard of workmanship and skill. Whilst I will never match Caravaggio’s accomplishments I decided to have a go at recreating his painting. Although I love his composition of the fruit in the basket, I did not like the vine leaves on the right of the painting as I thought it led the eye off the canvas. I therefore decided to leave this out. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience of ‘painting in his brushstrokes’ so to speak and did feel a connection with the great man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To give some idea of what the painting may look like framed I have shown two images below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why not have a look at the original on the internet and make a comment if you wish about my effort. I am always pleased to hear from viewers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" SOLD<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":568,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":true,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3,27],"tags":[232,231,205,6,167,25],"class_list":["post-565","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","category-paintings","tag-basket-of-fruit","tag-caravaggio","tag-classic-still-life","tag-oil-painting","tag-roger-young","tag-still-life"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rogeryoungartist.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DSC_0018-800.jpg?fit=800%2C608&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p8x6Aa-97","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rogeryoungartist.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/565","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rogeryoungartist.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rogeryoungartist.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rogeryoungartist.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rogeryoungartist.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=565"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/rogeryoungartist.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/565\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":831,"href":"https:\/\/rogeryoungartist.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/565\/revisions\/831"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rogeryoungartist.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/568"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rogeryoungartist.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=565"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rogeryoungartist.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=565"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rogeryoungartist.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=565"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rogeryoungartist.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Caravaggio-and-Me-Framed.jpg?resize=231%2C190&ssl=1\")
