Season 2, Episode 1 - "Boy Bitten by a Lizard" by Caravaggio
The background to Caravaggio's Boy Bitten by a Lizard, which depicts a youth recoiling in pain as a lizard lurking among flowers bites his middle finger. Caravaggio’s painting contains a lesson to the viewer about the transience of youth, the perils of sensual pleasure, and the precariousness of life. Caravaggio was a penniless artist when he created this early work not long after his arrival in Rome in 1592 and Januszczak sets out to explain the meaning behind the symbolism contained within the painting.
