Basket of Fruit (Caravaggio) Basket of Fruit (Caravaggio) Basket of Fruit (c.1599) is a still life painting by the Italian Baroque master Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571–1610), which hangs in the Biblioteca Ambrosiana (Ambrosian Library), Milan. It shows a wicker basket perched on the edge of a ledge. The basket contains a selection of summer fruit: ... a good-sized, light-red peach attached to a stem with wormholes in the leaf resembling damage by oriental fruit moth (Orthosia hibisci). Beneath it is a single bicolored apple, shown from a stem perspective with two insect entry holes, probably codling moth, one of which shows secondary rot
Abelian variety of CM-type manipulate analytic functions of several complex variables. The formal definition is that the tensor product of End("A") with the rational number field Q, should contain a commutative subring of dimension 2"d" over Q. When "d" = 1 this can only be a quadratic field, and one recovers the cases where End("A") is an order in an imaginary quadratic field. For "d" > 1 there are comparable cases for CM-fields, the complex quadratic extensions of totally real fields. There are other cases that reflect that "A" may not be a simple abelian variety (it might be a cartesian product of elliptic
