Cappella Cerasi
Piazza del Popolo, 12, 00187 Roma RM, Italy
Cappella Cerasi is a church located in Musei.
In the Cerasi Chapel, Caravaggio took two huge subjects - Peter’s martyrdom and Paul’s conversion - and cut away the usual grandeur. Instead of packed heavenly drama, he gave viewers bodies under strain, harsh light, rough hands, dirt, …
Contains two paintings by Caravaggio (one on the left and one on the right). Allegedly, Caravaggio felt he was the better artist and should have had the more prominent center commission, so he painted an extra large donkey with its backside pointing toward the other painting/painter.
The Cappella Cerasi in Rome's Santa Maria del Popolo is a small, exquisite chapel that houses masterpieces of Baroque art.
