That might be the reason behind his painting <em>Saint Jerome<\/em>, currently in the <a href=\"https:\/\/borghese.gallery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Borghese Gallery<\/a> in Rome, which some scholars believe was executed shortly after his crime in 1606.<\/p>\n<p>We know, after all, that Caravaggio sent the painting to his latest and most powerful patron, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.metmuseum.org\/art\/collection\/search\/201593\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cardinal Scipione Borghese<\/a>. And we know that, more than just a depiction of a saint, it&#8217;s a depiction of a saint known for some carousing in his early days\u2014who eventually, of course, saw the light.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps Caravaggio was trying to make a parallel here to show that he, too, could turn things around. Another hint: Although Jerome was often shown with a bit of red, here he&#8217;s\u00a0<em>swamped\u00a0<\/em>in (and seemingly protected by) it. And red? That&#8217;s a cardinal&#8217;s color.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_22465\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22465\" class=\"wp-image-22465 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.walksofitaly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Walks_Borghese-Gallery-Tour-WEB-0018.jpg\" alt=\"man pointing out art work of old man with skull on table\" width=\"1200\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.walksofitaly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Walks_Borghese-Gallery-Tour-WEB-0018.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.walksofitaly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Walks_Borghese-Gallery-Tour-WEB-0018-768x480.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-22465\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Saint Jerome Writing has a lot of hidden meaning in it.<\/p><\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Seven_Works_of_Mercy\"><\/span>Seven Works of Mercy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If the painting was a request for a pardon, though, the pardon wasn&#8217;t forthcoming. At least not yet. And so Caravaggio headed south to Naples.

Even though his patrons hadn&#8217;t been able to protect him immediately after the murder, after all, he still hoped for a pardon&#8230; but in the meantime, he knew, he had to wait it out.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_22620\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22620\" class=\"wp-image-22620 size-full\" title=\"Seven Works of Mercy by Caravaggio\" src=\"https:\/\/www.walksofitaly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Caravaggio_-_Sette_opere_di_Misericordia.jpg\" alt=\"dark painting of an angel flying above many people\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1771\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.walksofitaly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Caravaggio_-_Sette_opere_di_Misericordia.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.walksofitaly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Caravaggio_-_Sette_opere_di_Misericordia-768x1133.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.walksofitaly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Caravaggio_-_Sette_opere_di_Misericordia-1041x1536.jpg 1041w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-22620\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Caravaggio&#8217;s &#8220;Seven Works of Mercy,&#8221; in Naples<\/p><\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Portrait_of_a_Maltese_Knight\"><\/span>Portrait of a Maltese Knight<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>For reasons that have been lost to history, Caravaggio quickly left for Malta. It seemed as though he hoped that the Knights of Malta would be able to help him where his other patrons hadn&#8217;t\u2014with that pesky pardon he so needed to return to Rome and his many commissions.<\/p>\n<p>Things seemed to work out in his favor, at least at first: The Grand Master of the Knights of Malta, a huge fan of Caravaggio&#8217;s work, immediately made him a knight in the Order. Again, Caravaggio became the most famous artist in town, winning one commission after another. His painting at left, <em>Portrait of a Maltese Knight<\/em>, currently in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uffizi.it\/en\/pitti-palace\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Palazzo Pitti<\/a>\u00a0in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.walksofitaly.com\/blog\/?s=florence&amp;post_type=posts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Florence<\/a>,\u00a0was just one of several portraits he did of leading Knights of Malta.

This was likely due, once again, to a near-fatal brawl\u2014one that seriously wounded a knight.<\/p>\n<p>Caravaggio narrowly escaped imprisonment. Cast out from the Order of the Knights of Malta, he found himself on the road once again.<\/p>\n<p>He headed to Sicily, where he looked up his old friend, Mario Minniti\u2014the boy model from so many of Caravaggio&#8217;s somewhat-erotic paintings. He won commissions across the peninsula; his style seemed increasingly anxious and depressed, showing pathetic-looking figures surrounded by shadow and darkness\u2014as in his painting <em>The Burial of Saint Lucy<\/em>,\u00a0which hangs in the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.secretsiracusa.it\/en\/where-to-go\/santa-lucia-at-the-badia-of-syracuse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Church of Santa Lucia alla Badi <\/a>in Syracuse, Sicily.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3645\" style=\"width: 1328px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/walksofitaly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/64lucy.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3645\" class=\" wp-image-3645 size-full\" title=\"Saint Lucy by Caravaggio\" src=\"https:\/\/www.walksofitaly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/64lucy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1318\" height=\"1800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.walksofitaly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/64lucy.jpg 1318w, https:\/\/www.walksofitaly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/64lucy-768x1049.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.walksofitaly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/64lucy-1125x1536.jpg 1125w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1318px) 100vw, 1318px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3645\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Caravaggio&#8217;s painting <em>Burial of Saint Lucy<\/em> can be viewed at a church in Syracuse, Sicily.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>That style was hardly surprising. Still without a pardon from Rome, Caravaggio was becoming increasingly desperate. According to contemporary reports, he was acting erratically and with paranoia, even sleeping fully clothed and armed, ready to pounce on an attacker at a moment&#8217;s notice.<\/p>\n<p>And he might have had reason. According to his first biographer, he had enemies on his heels. So Caravaggio headed back across the sea to Naples, turning himself over to the protection of his patrons the Colonnas, while he continued to hope for a pardon.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"David_with_the_Head_of_Goliath\"><\/span>David with the Head of Goliath<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>On his second stint in Naples, he continued to paint.
