Basket of Fruit (detail)Caravaggio

This close-up from Caravaggio’s Basket of Fruit (c. 1599) highlights his radical naturalism. Each blemish and wrinkle on the fruit is rendered with precision, rejecting idealization. The composition offers a meditation on impermanence and decay, aligning everyday objects with deep symbolic resonance in the early Baroque spirit.
