CARAVAGGIO: The Denial of St Peter

🖼 The Denial of St Peter, c. 1610
Oil on canvas
94 × 125 cm

Candlelight catches Peter's anguished face as he denies knowing Christ, surrounded by soldiers and servants in shadowy chaos. Caravaggio's dramatic chiaroscuro transforms biblical tragedy into visceral human moment, revolutionizing religious art through psychological intensity and theatrical realism.
