Caravaggio's first paintings on religious themes returned to realism, and the emergence of remarkable spirituality. "It seemed not a religious painting at all ... a girl sitting on a low wooden stool drying her hair ... Where was the repentance ... suffering ... promise of salvation? Instead, he preferred the Venetian practice of working in oils directly from the subject—half-length figures and still life.
