Description:

This powerful oil painting by Caravaggio, created in 1610, depicts the dramatic biblical scene of "The Denial of Saint Peter." The composition features three figures in a close-up, dimly lit setting, characteristic of Caravaggio's masterful use of chiaroscuro. On the right, Saint Peter, identifiable by his elderly appearance and beard, looks distressed, clutching his hands as if in denial. To his left, a young woman, likely a maidservant, points an accusatory finger at him. Further left, partially obscured, a soldier in armor also seems to be questioning or confronting Peter. The intense expressions, dramatic lighting, and raw realism convey the psychological tension and human frailty of the moment, making it a hallmark example of Baroque painting.
