Barberini, 30 years old and from the eminent Florentine Barberini family, was a rapidly rising Church prelate, a friend of Caravaggio's patron Cardinal Francesco Maria Del Monte, and himself a poet and patron of the arts. Barberini's support would continue into later years – in 1603 he commissioned a Sacrifice of Isaac from Caravaggio. In 1623 he became Pope as Urban VIII.

[es] Retrato de Maffeo Barberini

Maffeo Barberini fue uno de los primeros retratos de Caravaggio, en 1598. La obra muestra al poderoso cardenal Maffeo Barberini (Urbano VIII), mecenas del pintor[1]y miembro de una ilustre familia romana de la cual salieron muchos pontífices y altos prelados católicos. El cardenal está situado en una pose sencilla y sin tantas complicaciones del Barroco. La luz hace que el cardenal salga de su lienzo y parezca que sobresale ante el espectador.
