Cecco del Caravaggio

Cecco del Caravaggio, A Musician (Conjurer), ca. 1610, Apsley House, London.

This is the first monographic exhibibtion dedicated to Cecco del Caravaggio (1580 - 1630), born Francesco Boneri. It presents about 40 works by the mysterious and ingenious pupil of Caravaggio, bringing together around 20 autographed works out of only 25 that make up his entire catalogue. The exhibition’s itinerary highlights, through important loans of works by Caravaggio and others, both the painters from whom Cecco drew inspiration, and the artists influenced by him.
