Talk:List of paintings by Caravaggio

message: Can anyone give information about this? Several Caravaggio paintings are cited as being in it, but there's no article/entry on Wiki, and nothing even on the Web - just a reference to a Robert Longhi Insitution (which seems not to be open to the public) and odd references to TWO Robert Longhi colections (or 'collezione Robert Longhi), one in Rome, one in Florence. Can anyone clear this up and maybe write a short wiki-entry? PiCo 10:16, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Does it show the Virgin in a red robe, seated on a bench, with an infant Christ standing with arms around her neck, Joseph behind to the left, and an infant Baptist reaching up from ther lower left corner? Puglisi lists this as a Holy Family, and I can't find anything closer. She says it's known in 3 versions, none thought to be original, with the best version in a private collection in Caracas. Puglisi's book came out in 1998, so things could have changed. Robb doesn't mention anything like this. PiCo 23:32, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Collezione Longhi

message: I've placed all the St John the baptist in the Wilderness paintings (8 of them) together on one page and made a new entry for them. This means that each separate link John the Baptist now takes the reader to the same page, where they con compare the versions of this almost obsessive theme of Caravaggio's. I've tried to incorporate the material from existing entries of course. The page isn't quite finished - I want to add a few paintings which are ascribed to Caravaggio, including the Basle Baptist, and there are some details to clean up. But I'd be glad to have feedback on how you feel about the idea in itself, and also about how I've approached it. There's a danger, of course, since I tend to write in a rather subjective way, that I'm imposing my own readings too much.
Thanks everyone :)

thread_title:  John the Baptist 

message: Wow, I was the one who added "The Calling of Saints Peter and Andrew". Now it seems there's only one Caravaggio work in the world that needs an article! How humiliating is it to be defeated by "Still Life with Fruit on a Stone Ledge"? I mean, I like fruit, but come on...! Lampman 01:23, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

text: Thank you. Can you help also on the matter of "possible" Caravaggios? The John the Baptists in particular interest me - I really do wonder just how plausible some of those ascriptions are. (They mostly come from Robb, and I'm mostly responsible). PiCo (talk) 19:29, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

message: Recently attributed, plus another new attribution in Rome of I forget what, plus an early Supper at Emmaus seems to be missing. Johnbod (talk) 02:10, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Awesome! Thanks for the addition.  You can add it or I will add it when I can. You seem to be a rather accomplished wikipedian that deals with Art related subjects.  Would you want to work with me to get this up to FL status? Remember (talk) 02:27, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks - I won't be able to do much, but will keep an eye on it.  It's looking good, though some of the more faded images, like the National Gallery Boy with a Lizard, could be upgraded. Johnbod (talk) 13:38, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

text: I didn't know there existed Featured Lists, but it sounds like a nice thing to aim for. Things to add might include ranges of dates for each work based on the 3 most recent authoritative studies, and notes on provenance/attribution - these things could go in the Notes section against each work.PiCo (talk) 13:29, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Actually there are four exceptions.  I was just trying to set up a standard by which all art chronologies could be created but in this case it may not be needed. But I would keep it for not at least. Remember (talk) 14:09, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

message: Pretty sure this should be removed from the list of works, as almost no one actually attributes it to Caravaggio.Heironymous Rowe (talk) 04:27, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: What year is it listed under? Really we need a "no longer attributed" section at the end. Johnbod (talk) 04:37, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

message: The US Flag has been used in the table for the works in the US, correctly in my opinion, and not the various State Flags.  Should not the Union Flag be used for the works in the UK - if only for consistency? Jacksoncowes (talk) 18:06, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

message: I have seen two versions of Medusa. 
The first was in the Uffizi Gallery in Naples. The other was in the Utrecht Caravaggio and Europe show at the Alte Pinakothek in Munich, Germany two weeks later. The brochure said that it is in a Private Collection and said This work by Caravaggio, which he signed at the bottom right, is thought to be the earlier of two versions. There is only one version in the list.

message: A developing story, so not ready for inclusion, but this story could lead to an addition to Caravaggios oeuvre. Heiro 19:01, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: A little more information here in this NY Times article. It was about to be put up for auction as a work by Jusepe de Ribera, but it was withdrawn from the auction and is now being investigated as "a well-documented but long-lost Caravaggio". There is speculation that it could be the Caravaggio piece from the "Ecce Homo" competition with two other painters, Cigoli and Domenico Passignano, that Caravaggio is known to have been involved in. There has always been speculation that the Caravaggio "Ecce Homo" in Genoa was not the Caravaggio work from this competition (and by some that this work was not by Caravaggio at all), and that another was floating around somewhere. It will be interesting to see how it shakes out. Heiro 20:13, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
