For a referenced online discussion of Caravaggio’s use of fruit as sexual symbols see [
www.hort.purdue.edu] . This is a horticultural site (!!) but good, nonetheless: scroll down to the section entitled “Fruits as Metaphor”. For a biased but instructive exploration concerning C.’s sexuality as expressed in his art see this article posted on the homosexual site, GLBTQ: [
www.glbtq.com].
