Could Someone Please I.D. this Painting for Me?

Good day, Artists-types!

Having stumbled here via Google, and reading some of the posts, this looks like the place that could finally help me to sleep better at night knowing the Artist and name of a painting I glimpsed during a viewing of a B-horror film...

I'm pretty certain it's really famous, but I couldn't come up with the name. I think it's of a monk, or a Cardinal with his mouth agape. It's always freaked me out. Fortunately, I was able to take a screen shot of it:

Thanks in advance for your knowledge! Cheers.

It's dark, but I think your picture ishows a reproduction of Caravaggio's Medusa.

whoops! Looks like somehow I got a double thread... apologies, but it was a glitch.

Well, I'll be damned! That's it! I wonder why I thought it was a monk or a cardinal or something? Hmmm... just felt like a scary religious painting to me. Thanks for the answer! You guys rock!
