"Peter Martyr Enjoins Silence" is a fresco by the Early Renaissance Italian painter Fra Angelico, also known as Beato Angelico or Guido di Pietro. This artwork is part of a series of frescoes painted by Fra Angelico in the 1440s for the Dominican convent of San Marco in Florence, Italy. The fresco is located in the Chapter House of the convent and is one of the many that depict scenes from the life of Saint Dominic and other Dominican saints.

The fresco illustrates a moment from the life of Saint Peter of Verona, also known as Saint Peter Martyr, a Dominican friar and preacher who was notable for his efforts to combat heresy during the 13th century. In the depicted scene, Saint Peter Martyr is shown imposing silence with a gesture, emphasizing the importance of contemplation and the disciplined monastic life. The saint is often portrayed with a finger over his lips, a symbol of his role as a guardian of the faith and an enforcer of the monastic rule of silence.

Fra Angelico's work is renowned for its devotional spirit and the use of light and color to convey holiness and divine presence. "Peter Martyr Enjoins Silence" is no exception, showcasing the artist's skill in creating a serene and spiritually uplifting atmosphere within the context of a religious narrative. The fresco is executed with the delicate precision and attention to detail characteristic of Fra Angelico's style, which combines the idealized beauty of the early Renaissance with a deep sense of piety.

The San Marco frescoes are considered some of Fra Angelico's most significant works and contribute to the understanding of the development of Renaissance art in Florence. "Peter Martyr Enjoins Silence," as part of this series, is an important example of the artist's mastery in fresco technique and his ability to infuse his religious subjects with a sense of immediacy and emotional depth. The fresco remains an object of study for art historians and a testament to the spiritual and artistic achievements of the Dominican Order during the Renaissance.
