Since I read about Carravagio in Unit 7, I was interested to see his other works and if he uses the power of dispersed light to capture his scences. As this painting shows entiltled The Denial of St. Peter, it does. There is light here but there isn't at the face time. The light is used to reflect and draw attention to what he want you to focus on, the people, while mainting the background realitvely dark.
