"St. John the Baptist and St. Peter, from the Altarpiece of Pierre Rup" is a notable work of religious art attributed to an anonymous artist, dating back to circa 1450. This piece is part of a larger altarpiece commissioned by Pierre Rup, a prominent figure of the time, and is a quintessential example of 15th-century European religious art. The artwork features two of the most significant figures in Christian iconography: St. John the Baptist, known for baptizing Jesus and his role as a forerunner to the Messiah, and St. Peter, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus and a foundational figure in the early Christian Church.

The altarpiece, crafted during the late Gothic period, reflects the stylistic transition to the early Renaissance, showcasing both the ornate, intricate detailing characteristic of Gothic art and the emerging interest in naturalism and humanism that would define Renaissance art. The figures of St. John the Baptist and St. Peter are depicted with a heightened sense of individuality and realism, a departure from the more stylized representations of earlier medieval art.

St. John the Baptist is typically represented with attributes such as a reed cross, a scroll, and sometimes a lamb, symbolizing his role as the "Lamb of God" herald. St. Peter is often portrayed holding keys, a reference to the "keys of the kingdom of heaven" that were metaphorically given to him by Christ, and sometimes a book or scroll, indicative of his teachings and writings.

The Altarpiece of Pierre Rup would have served both as a devotional object and as a demonstration of piety and status for its patron. Its current location, provenance, and the identity of the anonymous artist remain key areas of interest for art historians and researchers. The piece is an important artifact for understanding the religious, cultural, and artistic milieu of 15th-century Europe.
