Discussion of what the painting means seems to be completely conjecture with nothing to support it. Little Red Riding Hood talk 21:43, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
There seems to have been some confusion in the past as to which version was illustrated. We now have both versions.-- Alan ( talk) 18:43, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
Anybody want to give us a translation of the Latin? My little Collins Latin dictionary doesn't even have some of the words--e.g., I had to get "insidiose" by checking the etymology of insidious in my American Heritage Dictionary!
My partial, doubtless inaccurate stab, whose appearance I hope will goad someone into putting right: "Have mercy, lizard, creeping around, lying in wait for a boy; let go of that tempting finger you've grabbed!" GeorgeTSLC ( talk) 16:02, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

Boy Bitten by a Lizard is an oil-on-canvas painting from around 1595 by the Italian Baroque painter Caravaggio. It exists in two versions, both believed to be authentic works of Caravaggio; one is in the collection of the Fondazione Roberto Longhi in Florence, while the other, shown here, is in the National Gallery, London. The identity of the sitter (theorised to be Mario Minniti) and the symbolism of the painting have been the subjects of much debate. Painting credit: Caravaggio
