圣彼得的否认

Caravaggio (Michelangelo Merisi) Italian

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 620

这幅画的叙事手法和简洁的画面令人赞叹，它是卡拉瓦乔在其动荡人生中的最后几个月画成的，标志着他那具有革命性的绘画风格中一个极端的阶段。在图中，他避免表现色彩的微妙和美丽，转而将精力集中在戏剧性的人物身上。图中的彼得站在大祭司的院子里，一个使女指认他和耶稣是一伙的。士兵伸出的一个指头和使女伸出的两个指头暗指三次指控和彼得的三次否认。卡拉瓦乔晚期的作品主要依靠明亮部分与黑暗背景之间形成的强烈对比来表现戏剧性效果。
