About the piece
Painted in 1624 by Bartolomeo Manfredi, this work is a quintessential example of the Caravaggesque movement. The composition brings Saints Peter and Paul into an intimate, high-contrast space, using deep shadows to emphasize the weathered character of their faces and the symbolic weight of Peter's keys and Paul's sword.
