Boy with a Basket of Fruit, is a painting generally attribute to Italian Baroque master Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, now in the Galleria Borghese, Rome.The painting dates from the time when Caravaggio, first time arrived in Rome from his native Milan..The model was his friend and partner, the Sicilian painter Mario Minniti, at about 16 years old.
The boy was carrying a basket containing many fruits, all in nearly perfect condition and including a bi-colored peach with a bright red blush, four clusters of grapes two black, one red, and one "white" a ripe pomegranate split open, disgorging its red seeds; four figs, two of them dead-ripe, black ones, both split and two light-colored; two medlars; three apples—two red, one blushed and the other striped, and one yellow with a russet basin and a scar, two branches with small pears, one of them with five yellow ones with a bright red cheek and the other, half-hidden, with small yellow, blushed fruits. There are also leaves showing numerous disorders, a prominent greenish grape leaf with fungal spots and another with a white insect egg mass similar to that of the oblique banded leaf roller, and peach leaves with various spots.

Reproduction of oil painting is very expensive and a time taking process. The completed painting requires at least a week for drying completely. After that, we apply two layers of protective coating to secure the painting from dust and mold. Only completely dried painting can apply a coating or the painting will be damaged. The process of painting may take more than 4 weeks to 6 weeks based on the size and complexity.
For stretching, We will add a 1.6" additional white canvas border on all four sides for stretching purposes. We do not provide stretched canvas due to several issues. We cannot take the risk of damage while shipping. Also, there are size limitations for sending framed canvas. Shipping a large-sized stretched canvas might cost more than a painting itself. So we suggest you find a nearby local shop for the framing process.
