Artwork details
The painting is based on a still-image from Derek Jarman's 1986 film "Caravaggio". It shows the painter and his relationships with his models, who are usually street kids and prostitutes. In this scene a very young Tilda Swinton, with her androgynous appearance, models for a Caravaggio cupid. This image alludes to the pose of the cupid in the Caravaggio's painting, but in an everyday situation.
