- Sick Bacchus, 1593. Caravaggio pitched up in Rome in the fall of 1592, a 20-year-old would-be artist with no reputation in his native Lombardy to speak of and few prospects awaiting him in the Eternal City.
- Boy with a Basket of Fruit, 1594. Another work from Caravaggio’s time in the Cavalier d’Arpino’s studio, this truly sumptuous depiction of a youth holding a basket of fruit overflowing in its superabundance showcases Caravaggio’s rapidly developing skills in the art of still life.

GALLERIA BORGHESE TELLS A MASTERPIECE: DAVID AND GOLIATH OF CARAVAGGIO. Executed in 1609-10, this is one of Caravaggio’s last paintings, and probably his most dramatic. It depicts the young David displaying the severed head – held by the hair – of the giant Goliath.
All three paintings were acquired by Cardinal Scipione Borghese, who knew Caravaggio personally and was one of his primary patrons.
