CECCO DEL CARAVAGGIO: Woman with a Dove

🖼 Woman with a Dove, 1610s
Oil on canvas
66 × 47 cm
Madrid, Spain

Soft light models a woman's face as she cradles a white dove, her gaze tender and introspective. Cecco captures intimate devotion through chiaroscuro, blending spiritual symbolism with sensual realism—a hallmark of Caravaggism's emotional intensity and influence across 17th-century Europe.
