Portrait of Alof de Wignacourt with his Page is a painting made around 1607 to 1608 by the Italian artist Caravaggio, now held in the Louvre in Paris. It shows Alof de Wignacourt, Grand Master of the Knights of Malta from 1601, in formal armor beside a young page from a noble family. Caravaggio painted it soon after arriving in Malta from Naples in July 1607, part of a series of portraits he made of Wignacourt and other senior knights as the Grand Master worked to raise the prestige of his court and the island's fortifications.
