Boy Bitten by a Lizard - Caravaggio Baroque Art Print
Couldn't load pickup availability
Boy Bitten by a Lizard, painted by Caravaggio around 1593–94, detonates a single, nerve-split second into the whole vocabulary of Italian Baroque shock. Staging the ambush on a stone ledge strewn with red cherries and pale yellow-green fruits, the lizard converting the painting's still-life tradition into a trap sprung mid-reach.
The boy's mouth opens on the exact pitch of pain before it becomes sound — brow crumpling, auburn-red curling hair catching raking lateral light, a pale pink rose tucked behind the ear reading against the cool gray-green shadow as something almost absurdly tender. The warm ochre flesh of the outstretched hand flinches at the wrist; the raised left hand fans its fingers wide, every knuckle a study in involuntary anatomy.
Late Mannerism had idealized moments; Caravaggio physicalizes them, loading a blue-gray glass vase and a scatter of cherries with the full weight of what the body feels before the mind catches up.

Wall Art Size Guides
Framed Art Prints
1. Vertical
Use the sawtooth hanger at the top middle on the back of the frame and hang it on a single screw or nail.
2. Horizontal
Hang the two sawtooth hangers on two screws or nails at the same heightPut two screws or nails in the wall at the same height, spaced the same distance apart as the two sawtooth hangers, then hang your print on them.
Framed Canvas
1. D-rings (most secure)
Screw a D-ring onto the back of the frame on the left and right, both at the same height. A ruler helps here. Then put two screws in the wall where you want your canvas, level with each other and spaced the same distance apart as the D-rings. A spirit level makes this easier. Finally, hook the D-rings onto the screws.
2. Straight onto screws
Keep it simple: put two screws in the wall at the same height and rest the inner lip at the top of the back of the frame on them.
