The Seven Works of Mercy is the great altarpiece Caravaggio painted in Naples around 1607: in a dark street lit by a torch, all seven corporal works of mercy unfold in a single crowd, while above them two angels bear the Madonna and Child. The original, oil on canvas, is 390 cm high and 260 cm wide and still hangs over the high altar of the church of the Pio Monte della Misericordia, for which it was made. One of our painters paints it for you by hand in oils on canvas, in 6 large portrait sizes from 90 x 130 to 160 x 230 cm or made to measure, and we send you a photograph of the finished painting before it leaves us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n<\/table>\n

The Seven Works of Mercy \u2013 Caravaggio<\/h2>\n

What does The Seven Works of Mercy show?<\/h3>\n

The lower half of the tall canvas is a narrow Naples street at night. Torchlight pulls the crowd out of the dark only in fragments: a face, a shoulder, a bare back, a white shirt.<\/p>\n

On the right a young woman in a white blouse glances back over her shoulder while an old man behind the bars of a prison drinks milk from her breast. Behind her a man in a white shirt raises the torch, and another carries a dead body of which only the bare feet show.<\/p>\n

On the left a young man in a plumed hat cuts his cloak in two for a nude beggar in the foreground, seen from behind. Behind him a pilgrim with a shell on his hat asks an innkeeper for a bed, and further back a man drinks from the jawbone of an ass.<\/p>\n

The upper half belongs to two angels with great wings who lean down over the street. Above them the Madonna, the Child in her arms, looks quietly down.<\/p>\n

Which seven works of mercy are in the scene?<\/h3>\n

In Catholic tradition the corporal works of mercy are seven acts of compassion that answer the material needs of others.<\/p>\n

Burying the dead falls to the two men with the corpse, whose feet are all we see. The young woman feeding the old man through the bars both visits the prisoner and feeds the hungry; the scene recalls the classical story known as Roman Charity. The pilgrim and the innkeeper stand for sheltering the homeless.<\/p>\n

The young man in the plumed hat is Saint Martin of Tours, who in his well-known legend gives half his cloak to the naked beggar: clothing the naked. Because he also comforts the beggar, who is lame, Wikipedia reads the same group as visiting the sick. Samson, drinking from the jawbone, stands for giving drink to the thirsty.<\/p>\n

The American art historian John Spike writes that the angel at the centre passes on the grace that moves people to mercy.<\/p>\n

Why is this altarpiece so celebrated?<\/h3>\n

Because in one night and on one street corner it tells what other painters would have split across seven pictures.<\/p>\n

Caravaggio paints no ideal figures, only faces you might have met in Naples, and the tenebrism that made his name serves kindness here rather than drama.<\/p>\n

Around 1600 in Rome he had already painted a great crowd scene, The Martyrdom of Saint Matthew<\/a>, then his largest canvas with the most figures. The Naples canvas is taller still and more densely peopled.<\/p>\n

Where is the original, and how is it best seen?<\/h3>\n

The original was made for the church of the Pio Monte della Misericordia in Naples and still hangs over the high altar Caravaggio painted it for.<\/p>\n

At first seven separate panels were planned, spread around the church. Caravaggio combined all seven works in a single composition, which became the church\u2019s altarpiece.<\/p>\n

According to the English Wikipedia article<\/a>, the painting is best seen from the little choir, il coretto, on the first floor.<\/p>\n

The Seven Works of Mercy or another Caravaggio?<\/h3>\n

The Seven Works of Mercy is a canvas painting for anyone who loves a crowded scene, a big story and night light. It needs a tall wall, such as a stairwell or a parish hall.<\/p>\n

The same year, 1607, saw The Madonna of the Rosary<\/a>, another large altarpiece with the Madonna and Child high above barefoot poor people. From Naples in the same year comes The Flagellation of Christ<\/a>, with Christ bound to a column.<\/p>\n

If you prefer the early Roman Caravaggio, look at The Calling of Saint Matthew<\/a>: Jesus points towards the table where Matthew sits. The Naples altarpiece sits with all the other famous Caravaggio paintings we offer on the Caravaggio<\/a> page.<\/p>\n

How does our painter paint The Seven Works of Mercy?<\/h3>\n

We begin only once you order, working in oils on canvas, layer upon layer; on a dark ground the painter first places both halves, angels above and street below, so that each of the seven scenes has room.<\/p>\n

Then he builds the light outward from the torch. The brightest passages are the white shirt, the woman\u2019s blouse, the feathers of the wings and the nude beggar in front; everything else stays in warm browns and near-blacks.<\/p>\n

This Caravaggio reproduction differs from a print at first glance: the brushstrokes catch the light and the dark passages have depth. An oil painting reproduction like this comes alive under an evening lamp.<\/p>\n

Which size for which wall?<\/h3>\n

In short: all six sizes are large; 90 x 130 or 98 x 152 cm belong above a sofa or sideboard, 113 x 165 or 127 x 185 cm on a tall dining-room or hallway wall, and 140 x 210 or 160 x 230 cm beside a staircase, or in a double-height hall.<\/p>\n

We paint The Seven Works of Mercy in 6 portrait sizes (width x height): 90 x 130, 98 x 152, 113 x 165, 127 x 185, 140 x 210 and 160 x 230 cm. Because of the crowd of figures we offer this work only in large sizes, where the faces still read clearly. The closest to the original is the largest, 160 x 230 cm, which is still 100 cm narrower and 160 cm lower.<\/p>\n

As a painting for the living room it works best at 90 x 130 or 98 x 152 cm above the sofa, where Saint Martin and the woman at the bars come close to eye level. From 140 x 210 cm upwards you need a ceiling higher than usual.<\/p>\n

Is another size or a frame possible?<\/h3>\n

Of course. If you need a different width or height, send us the size you have in mind<\/a> and we will reply with a price and a lead time. We keep the angels and the Madonna at the top and all seven scenes below.<\/p>\n

This tall altarpiece travels to you rolled, stretched on a stretcher bar or ready framed. Our workshop in Slovenia does the stretching and framing and readies even the largest canvases for the road. You pick the moulding in our 3D app, which serves only to choose the frame; seeing the painting on your own wall is a separate service.<\/p>\n

Warm browns and torchlight sit well with a dark walnut frame or a wider antique-gold moulding.<\/p>\n

How long does it take, and how is it delivered?<\/h3>\n

We start painting when you confirm the order, and the painting is on its way within 15 to 45 working days. Before then you receive a photograph of the finished work; if you would like a correction, we make it before dispatch. No customs are charged within Slovenia or anywhere else in the EU, and every order is covered by our returns policy.<\/p>\n

A work devoted to mercy is a meaningful gift for a doctor, a nurse, a volunteer, a parish or a charity. Unsure whether their hall is tall enough? Give a wall art voucher<\/a> and let the recipient pick the size.<\/p>\n

Frequently asked questions<\/h3>\n

Where can I see the original?<\/h4>\n

In the church of the Pio Monte della Misericordia in Naples, over the high altar.<\/p>\n

What is the woman at the bars doing?<\/h4>\n

She feeds an imprisoned old man with milk from her breast: visiting the prisoner and feeding the hungry.<\/p>\n

Is this a print?<\/h4>\n

No. It is a hand-painted copy: a painter lays every scene on the canvas with brush and oil paint.<\/p>\n

How big is Caravaggio\u2019s original?<\/h4>\n

It is 390 cm high and 260 cm wide; our largest size, 160 x 230 cm, is much smaller.<\/p>\n

Who is the young man in the plumed hat?<\/h4>\n

Saint Martin of Tours, who cuts his cloak and shares it with the naked beggar.<\/p>\n

Will it suit a living room?<\/h4>\n

Yes, if the wall is tall enough; there we suggest 90 x 130 or 98 x 152 cm.<\/p>\n

Can you paint a size that is not listed?<\/h4>\n

Yes. Send us the width and height, and we will answer with a price and a making time.<\/p>\n

How long does making it take?<\/h4>\n

15 to 45 working days; before dispatch we send you a photograph of the completed painting.<\/p>\n
