The Predella of the St Peter Martyr Altarpiece is a notable work by the Early Renaissance Italian painter Fra Angelico, also known as Guido di Pietro. This predella, a part of a larger altarpiece dedicated to Saint Peter of Verona, also known as Saint Peter Martyr, was originally created for the Church of Sant' Egidio in Florence around 1428-1430. The altarpiece itself was dismantled in the 18th century, and its components, including the predella, were dispersed among various art collections.

The predella, which is the lowermost horizontal section of an altarpiece, typically adorned with small narrative scenes, in this case, illustrates episodes from the life and martyrdom of Saint Peter Martyr. Fra Angelico's work is renowned for its delicate attention to detail, use of color, and pious expression of religious themes. The scenes depicted in the predella combine a sense of serene devotion with a narrative clarity that was characteristic of Fra Angelico's style.

Each panel of the predella is executed with tempera on wood and showcases Fra Angelico's mastery of perspective and his ability to convey complex theological ideas through simple, yet profound imagery. The original panels are now housed in different museums, with some of the main panels of the altarpiece residing in the National Gallery in London.

As an important example of Fra Angelico's early work, the Predella of the St Peter Martyr Altarpiece reflects the transition from the Gothic style to the Renaissance emphasis on naturalism and three-dimensional space. Its preservation and study provide valuable insights into the devotional practices and artistic innovations of 15th-century Florence. The predella remains a significant piece for scholars interested in the development of Renaissance art and the religious and cultural context of the period.
