Painting Description
"Suonatore di Mandolino" (English: "The Lute Player") is a painting often attributed to Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, an influential Italian Baroque master known for his dramatic use of lighting and his realistic depiction of human subjects. While the existence of a work by Caravaggio under this title is acknowledged, the details surrounding the painting, including its current whereabouts, are shrouded in mystery and the subject of scholarly debate. If it indeed exists, the painting would likely date from the early 1590s, a period when Caravaggio was active in Rome and producing works for his patron Cardinal Francesco Maria Del Monte.
The painting is thought to depict a young musician, a common subject in Caravaggio's oeuvre, engaged in playing the mandolin. This would align with Caravaggio's known works such as "The Lute Player" held in the Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg, and another version in the Wildenstein Collection, which feature similar themes of musicians with instruments. However, the specific painting titled "Suonatore di Mandolino" remains elusive, with no concrete records of its creation, provenance, or current location.
Given the lack of verifiable information and the potential for confusion with other, better-documented works by Caravaggio, any entry on "Suonatore di Mandolino" would be speculative at best. Until new evidence comes to light, the painting remains a subject of interest primarily for Caravaggio scholars and enthusiasts of Baroque art, representing a tantalizing puzzle in the artist's celebrated body of work.
