Jupiter Neptune and Pluto (c. 1597) is a painting by Italian Baroque master Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio. It is located in the casino of the Villa Ludovisi Rome. It is unusually painted in oils on plaster. Oil painting is normally on canvas or less frequently on wood. According to an early biographer one of Caravaggio’s aims was to discredit critics who claimed that he had no grasp of perspective. The three figures demonstrate the most dramatic foreshortening imaginable.
