"Cristo Consegna le Chiavi a San Pietro" (Christ Handing the Keys to St. Peter) is a significant religious painting by the German artist Anton Raphael Mengs. Created in the 18th century, this artwork is a testament to Mengs' skill in the Neoclassical style and his engagement with religious themes. The painting depicts the biblical scene from the Gospel of Matthew (16:18-19), where Jesus Christ gives the Apostle Peter the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven, symbolizing Peter's role as the first Pope and the foundation of the Church's authority.

Mengs, born in 1728 in Bohemia and active in Rome, Dresden, and Madrid, was a leading figure of Neoclassicism and a contemporary of the more famous Italian artist Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. Mengs' work is characterized by its clarity, harmony, and balance, drawing inspiration from the ideals of classical art and the Renaissance masters. "Cristo Consegna le Chiavi a San Pietro" is particularly noted for its precise composition, the use of chiaroscuro to create depth, and the emotional resonance of the figures depicted.

The painting is an important example of Mengs' religious works and reflects the artist's deep understanding of iconography and theology. It is also a reflection of the Catholic Church's patronage of the arts during the period, which sought to reaffirm religious doctrines through visual representation. Today, the painting is recognized for its artistic and historical significance, contributing to our understanding of 18th-century religious art and the broader cultural context in which it was created.
