Crucifixion of St. Peter⠀ 👨🎨By: Caravaggio⠀ ⠀ 📚The painting depicts the martyrdom of St. Peter by crucifixion—Peter asked that his cross be inverted so as not to imitate his God, Jesus Christ, hence he is depicted upside-down. The large canvas shows Romans, their faces shielded, struggling to erect the cross of the elderly but muscular apostle. Peter is heavier than his aged body would suggest, and his lifting requires the efforts of three men, as if the crime they perpetrate already weighs on them.

This painting effectively depicts the suffering and martyrdom of St. Peter and takes the viewer to the depth of this historical event. Using strong symbolism and careful composition, the artist has prominently displayed concepts such as faith, humility, sin, and torment of conscience.🎭🎭
