About the painting

The Musicians or Concert of Youths (c. 1595) is a painting by the Italian Baroque master Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571–1610). The work was commissioned by Cardinal Francesco Maria del Monte, who had an avid interest in music. It is one of Caravaggio’s more complex paintings, with four figures that were likely painted from life.
