CARAVAGGIO
Amor Victorious, 1602-3,
Oil on canvas
Caravaggio's painting contains a young teenaged boy in an unabashed pose. Trappings of music, instruments, and armour make up the items scattered in the foreground of the painting.
The figure is very sensual and has been labelled as an allegory of Earthly Love, but may also represent how Love conquers all...
