The Denial of Saint Peter

Item # 2475764

Michelangelo Caravaggio

<p>Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571 - 1610) was a controversial and influential Italian artist. Throughout his lifetime in the 17th century, Caravaggio lived in multiple cities around Italy where he practiced his craft. His short-lived career still allowed him time to create a stunning body of work.</p>

<p>Caravaggio's late works depend for their dramatic effect on brightly lit areas standing in contrast to a dark background. The picture, a marvel of narrative, was painted in the last months of Caravaggio's tempestuous life and marks an extreme stage in his revolutionary style. Peter is shown before a fireplace, when a woman accuses him of being a follower of Christ. The pointing finger of the soldier and two fingers of the woman allude to the three accusations and to Peter's three denials. In 1613 the painting belonged to Guido Reni who received it from the engraver Luca Ciamberlano as compensation for debts.</p>
