Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Details 421 showed the man digging the hole for The Crucifixion of St Peter, early 1550s, one of Michelangelo's final two frescos, painted in the Capella Paolina in the Vatican. St Peter, by his own pious request, was crucified upside down (though he eyeballs the viewer crossly); the companion fresco shows another moment of apostolic bouleversement, The Conversion of St Paul. Both have strange, mobile viewpoints, half ground- level, half overhead. The chapel is in the Papal quarters, and you have to make a special appointment.
