Description of Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio’s The Young Man with the Lute
Caravaggio’s painting "The Luteist" or "Young Man with a Lute" is a striking exhibit in the Hermitage. But the painting is also on display in several other museums around the world, such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. And experts still do not agree on which of the works is the original, and which are only copies.
Caravaggio created his picture in 1595 commissioned by Cardinal del Monte. Size 100 by 126 centimeters. And it is done in oil. In the picture the artist depicted a boy who plays on a strange instrument. He is holding a lute, an instrument that was popular in the Middle Ages.
The boy was not accidentally chosen for the pose. Everyone believes he was a friend of Caravaggio. In addition, the artist portrayed him several times in his paintings. The young man has dark, thick hair. He is dressed in a plain white shirt. On his right hand lies his black cloak carelessly. His mouth is slightly open, but you can see that he is enjoying playing an instrument.
On the left side of the picture are flowers, a bright bouquet where we see yellow daisies, small red roses and the usual wildflowers. And in front of the guy with the lute is a table.
On it are notebooks where you can even look through the lines. Also on the table is a violin and a bow. Perhaps the boy in the picture is a talented musician who plays several instruments. Next to this "musical mess" on the table are ripe fruits.
Caravaggio liked the painting itself very much. He liked everything: his friend, the composition, the subject, the colors. By the way, the artist approached the choice of tones with the utmost responsibility. In this picture, warm tones dominate.
On the left side of the picture, the author clearly wanted to add some bright spots. Thus, he drew flowers and fruit. Without them, the painting would have been executed in exclusively milky hues.
During its existence, the painting has traveled a lot, in Russia it appeared in the 19th century.

А на сайте Эрмитажа картина после реставрации
В Эрмитаже находиться картина Караваджо "Лютнист". Приблизившись к полотну, в первый момент мы улавливаем веточные ноты, идущие от ириса, маргаритки, жасмина, шиповника и дамасской розы вместе со струей свежести от листьев персика и апельсина. Вслед звучит фруктовая тема натюрморта (инжир, слива, груша), изображенного на столе искусственного мрамора, который соединяет нас с пространством картины.
Сочетание символики цветов и фруктов в образе лютниста, воспевающего любовь, утверждает гармонию божественного и мирского начала, неба и земли. Даже если утверждение жанра натюрморта в живописи произошло двумя десятилетиями позже того времени, когда творил Караваджо, этого ломбардского художника считают предтечей данного жанра.
Настойчивое стремление подражать природе через изображение цветочных и плодовых композиций – это "форма", несущая не только определённое содержание, но и некое нравственное самовыражение. Чтобы воспроизвести аромат, скрытый в композиции "Лютниста", было избрано десять основных нот: шесть цветочных и три фруктовых, на основе которых была создана парфюмерная композиция и размещена в зале Эрмитажа перед картиной.

The picture has something of this: people, woman, seat, wear, music, furniture, sit, man, group, instrument, veil, two, room.
Perhaps it’s a painting of a woman playing a lute on a table with a vase of flowers in front of her.
