Saint Christopher Carrying the Infant Christ
About this artwork
This painting was acquired in Italy by Andrew Wilson on behalf of the Royal Institution in 1830, as the work of Caravaggio. It is, in fact, a copy after an original painting by the Caravaggesque painter Orazio Borgianni, also in the National Galleries of Scotland’s collection.
