crucifixion of St Peter

this painting is placed opposite to the "conversion of Paul" in the side chapel of the Santa Maria del Popolo. those who crucify Peter are represented as if they are doing a job. caravaggio's trademark could be seen everywhere in the painting including the dirty feet of the worker.
