A Caravaggio in Charlotte, with the Longhi collection around it
The Fondazione Roberto Longhi's Boy Bitten by a Lizard anchors more than 40 Baroque paintings at Mint Museum Uptown — the first Caravaggio shown in North Carolina this century.
By Museum Compass
Fewer than 60 paintings are securely attributed to Caravaggio, and this one rarely leaves Florence. Ribera, Stomer and Valentin de Boulogne fill out the room, and the surcharge is $10 over general admission. Seven weeks remain, and after St. Petersburg this is the tour's second American stop.
