"St. Peter Martyr" is a renowned fresco by the early Italian Renaissance painter Fra Angelico, also known as Guido di Pietro. This artwork is part of a series of frescoes that Fra Angelico painted for the Dominican convent of San Marco in Florence, Italy, between 1438 and 1443. The fresco depicts the Dominican friar and priest Saint Peter of Verona, also known as Peter Martyr, who was assassinated by heretical assassins in 1252 and subsequently canonized by the Catholic Church.

The fresco is situated in the Chapter House of the convent and is part of a larger narrative cycle that illustrates the lives and miracles of various Dominican saints. In this particular work, Fra Angelico represents St. Peter Martyr with a halo, standing in a serene landscape, a common setting for the artist's religious scenes. The saint is traditionally shown with a cleaver embedded in his head, referencing the manner of his martyrdom, and holding a palm frond, a symbol of martyrdom in Christian iconography.

Fra Angelico's use of color, light, and composition in "St. Peter Martyr" exemplifies his mastery of fresco technique and his ability to convey spiritual narratives with clarity and emotional depth. His work is characterized by its delicate figures and the use of perspective, which was innovative at the time. The fresco is admired for its devotional quality and the sense of tranquility it imparts, reflecting the spiritual ideals of the Dominican Order and the broader context of the Renaissance humanist movement.

"St. Peter Martyr" by Fra Angelico is considered an important work in the history of art, not only for its artistic merit but also for its role in the development of Renaissance painting in Florence. The fresco is a testament to Fra Angelico's influence on his contemporaries and on the generations of artists who followed. It remains a significant piece within the corpus of Christian art and continues to be studied for its stylistic and iconographic contributions to the Renaissance.
