Episode 258 - Caravaggio's "Crucifixion of St. Peter"

from Rebuilding The Renaissance

Caravaggio's interpretation of St. Peter's particular martyrdom – crucifixion in an upside-down position – for the Cerasi Chapel in Santa Maria del Popolo in Rome, Italy, is a moving example of realism and physicality. Three executioners struggle to lift the burly fisherman who seems to embrace his death.
