Caravaggio's “Young Man with Basket of Fruit” (1593), arriving from the Galleria Borghese in Rome, will inaugurate the 2026 exhibition calendar of the Morgan Library and Museum in New York. From January 16 to April 19, 2026 in the Morgan's halls, the exceptional loan from the Roman museum will be compared with some earlier Milanese paintings and works by Annibale Carracci. The exhibition will also include a selection of works documenting Caravaggio's impact on Roman art. Closing the tour will be a portrait of Scipione Borghese by Gianlorenzo Bernini. An early work by Michelangelo Merisi, the “Young Man with Basket of Fruit” was part of a group of canvases confiscated in 1607 from Giuseppe Cesari at whose workshop the Lombard painter worked. Accused by Pope Paul V's emissaries of illegal possession of firearms, to return to freedom Cesari was forced to offer his paintings to the Camera Apostolica, later donated by the Pope to his nephew Scipione Borghese. This is not the first time the “Young Man with Basket of Fruit” has flown to New York: in 1985 it was exhibited at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, in the memorable exhibition “The Age of Caravaggio”. The painting would return to the States several years later: in 2017-18 at the Getty Museum in Los Angeles, and in 2021 at the Nelson Atkins Museum in Kansas City. Organized by John Marciari, and curated by Charles W. Engelhard, head of the Morgan's Department of Drawings and Prints, “Caravaggio's ‘Boy with a Basket of Fruit’ in Focus” is organized by the Morgan Library & Museum in collaboration with the Foundation for Italian Art & Culture.
