!['Boy with a Basket of Fruit (c. 1593)' is an early masterpiece by Caravaggio that highlights his burgeoning mastery of light and naturalism. It’s a strikingly sensual work from his youth that serves as a precursor to the dramatic chiaroscuro and psychological depth that would later define the Baroque era.
