News from Italy that Caravaggio's Portrait of Maffeo Barberini has gone on display at the Palazzo Barberini in Rome. Maffeo, who eventually became Pope Urban VIII, was a considerable patron of Caravaggio and the arts in general. Curiously, news reports have pointed out that the painting is rarely on public display and that only 'five or six specialists' have seen it (click on the link to read more).
The painting will be on display in Rome until 23rd February 2025.
