Caravaggio, Madonna of the Rosary detail (c. 1605-7)I noticed this yesterday during seminar. Look at those rosary beads! Look at how fine Caravaggio painted the rosaries around Dominic’s hands as he holds them out. Look at how sheer the beads on the right are - practically transparent - and how he can combine great, virtuoso technique like that with quick strokes adjacent to them that still suffice to suggest the beads. Perfetto. -- source link
