Latex - set caption font to 11pt?

According to stackoverflow and http://www.ctex.org/documents/packages/float/caption.pdf I am able to change font of figure caption like:

\usepackage[font={normal,it}]{caption}

but how to set it for particular fontsize value directly?

I would expect something like

\usepackage[font={11,it}]{caption}

or

\usepackage[font={11pt,it}]{caption}

but it throws errors.

In LaTeX you set the document font size at the beginning and then elsewhere use keywords to resize the font relative to the given size. Here is a list of LaTex relative font sizes. So if you used the following documentclass command

\documentclass[12pt]{article}

then you would use small to get a smaller font in your captions:

\usepackage[font={small,it}]{caption}
