Caravaggio Tenebrism Redux

Render in the medium and register of Caravaggio's late Roman and Maltese paintings: oil paint on canvas with the canvas weave faintly visible in the lit highlights, palette of bone-white, lead-flesh-pink, oxblood-red, dirty-ochre, raw-umber, and total Mars-black, lighting strategy of a single hard raking light source entering from the upper left and striking only the most morally significant surface of the subject (face, hand, single object) while everything else collapses into pitch black with no fill light and no atmospheric perspective (tenebrism, not chiaroscuro), shadow is opaque void not modeled darkness, modeling on the lit surfaces is sculpted in butter-thick impasto in the highlights and thin glaze in the half-tones, no decorative background (the background is darkness itself), figures cropped close to the picture plane so they feel within arm's reach, working-class realism in faces (dirty fingernails, weathered skin, peasant complexions used as saints), the moral weight of seventeenth-century Roman streetlife rendered as if it were sacred history, varnish slightly yellowed with four-hundred-year-age, paint craquelure faint in the darkest passages. Do not render legible on-canvas text, logos, watermarks, named hate-symbols, or any real person depicted defamatorily. Preserve the subject, pose, and composition of the source image exactly, change only the medium and rendering.
