Mortel!

The children discuss Caravaggio's Saint Jerome Writing. The painting is of an old man sitting at a table covered with a large cloth up to his legs. A cloth hangs down to the floor, trapped under a book. The man who painted this picture is Michelangelo Merisi, nicknamed 'Caravaggio' after the small Italian town where he grew up. Caravaggio painted many religious paintings.
