She wears a white blouse under a dark purple bodice and skirt, with a blue-green patterned drape pooling at the left. Both hands rest on the hilt and blade of a sword whose point angles downward. At the left stands a broken wooden wheel studded with iron spikes, and a long pale palm frond lies across the cushion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza says the canvas was almost certainly commissioned in Rome by Cardinal Francesco Maria del Monte, Caravaggio's first patron, and notes that the light falls from the right, which is unusual in his work. In 1916 Roberto Longhi suggested Orazio Gentileschi, but later studies confirmed Caravaggio. The museum acquired it in 1934 from a gallery in Lucerne.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original: oil on canvas, c. 1598-99; Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza, Madrid.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCaravaggio (Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, 1571–1610) was an Italian Baroque painter, apprenticed in Milan to Simone Peterzano before moving to Rome around 1592. He painted directly from live models without preparatory drawings, developing an extreme form of chiaroscuro, later called tenebrism, in which figures emerge from near-total darkness into a single sharp source of light. His frank naturalism and immediacy, applied even to religious subjects, influenced a generation of painters across Europe. His paintings are held by the Galleria Borghese in Rome, the National Gallery, London and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach print is a giclée, printed to order.
