Crucifixion of St. Peter (1600) by Caravaggio is one of the most striking masterpieces of the Baroque era. Commissioned for the Cerasi Chapel in Rome, this powerful painting captures the martyrdom of Saint Peter, crucified upside down at his own request to avoid equating himself with Christ. Caravaggio’s dramatic use of chiaroscuro emphasizes the physical struggle and spiritual strength of the saint, blending raw realism with profound emotion. The work stands as a testament to Caravaggio’s revolutionary naturalism and psychological depth.
