The greatest French follower of Caravaggio, Valentin was one of the outstanding artists in seventeenth-century Rome. His most frequent subjects are scenes of merriment, with music-making, drinking, and fortune-telling. They are stock Caravaggesque themes, but painted in a direct and vivid style. This canvas, showing a soldier of fortune singing a love madrigal, is unique in Valentin’s career. It is perhaps emblematic of the sobriquet he took in Rome: Amador, Spanish for "lover boy." The painting belonged to the prestigious collection of Cardinal Mazarin, minister to King Louis XIV, and one of the great collectors of the seventeenth century.

Selectable product materials
For every fine art print we offer a range of different materials and sizes. The following sizes and materials are the options we offer you for individualization:
- Aluminium print (aluminium dibond): Aluminium Dibond prints are prints on metal with a true depth effect. A direct Aluminium Dibond Print is the perfect introduction to art reproductions manufactured with aluminum. The bright and white parts of the work of art shine with a silk gloss, however without the glow. This direct UV print on aluminium is the most popular entry-level product and is an extremely modern way to display fine art prints, as it draws attention on the image.
- Printed acrylic glass (with real glass coating): The acrylic glass print, often described as a UV print on plexiglass, will transform the original artwork into amazing décor and makes a great alternative option to canvas and dibond fine art prints. With an acrylic glass fine art print contrasts and image details will be more visible due to the precise tonal gradation.
- The canvas print: A canvas print is a printed cotton canvas mounted on a wood stretcher. Canvas prints are relatively low in weight. This means, it is easy and straightforward to hang your Canvas print without the support of any wall-mounts. Because of thata canvas print is suited for all kinds of walls.
- Poster on canvas material: The poster is a UV printed cotton canvas with a granular surface finish. A printed poster is perfectly suited for placing the art replica in a personal frame. Please keep in mind, that depending on the absolute size of the poster we add a white margin of approximately 2-6cm round about the print motif, which facilitates the framing.
