Portrait of Maffeo Barberini
Portrait of Maffeo Barberini (c. 1598) is a painting by the Italian Baroque master Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio.
It is held in a private collection in Florence.
Barberini, 30 years old and from the eminent Florentine Barberini family, was a rapidly rising Church prelate, a friend of Caravaggio's patron Cardinal Francesco Maria Del Monte, and himself a poet and patron of the arts.
Barberini's support would continue into later years – in 1603 he commissioned a "Sacrifice of Isaac"
