"The Apostles Peter and Paul Detail of Cupola Fresco" is a notable work by the Italian Renaissance artist Antonio Allegri da Correggio, commonly known as Correggio. This fresco forms part of the larger decorative scheme painted by Correggio in the dome (cupola) of the Cathedral of Parma, Italy, which is considered one of his masterpieces. The cathedral's dome fresco, completed around 1530, is titled "Assumption of the Virgin" and depicts the Virgin Mary being assumed into heaven, surrounded by a host of angels and saints.

The detail featuring the Apostles Peter and Paul is a significant portion of the fresco, showcasing Correggio's skill in creating figures that appear to occupy real space and his mastery of foreshortening, which gives the illusion of figures projecting out of the dome into the viewer's space. The apostles are traditionally considered to be the foremost of Jesus's disciples and are often depicted together in Christian art, symbolizing the foundations of the Church.

Peter, recognized by the keys he holds, is often considered the first pope and the "rock" upon which the Church was built, while Paul, often depicted with a book or a scroll, is known for his epistles and missionary work that were instrumental in spreading Christianity. In Correggio's fresco, the apostles are part of a larger narrative that combines biblical figures with an innovative use of perspective and light, creating a dynamic and heavenly vision that appears to open up the architecture of the cathedral itself.

Correggio's work in the Cathedral of Parma is celebrated for its dramatic use of chiaroscuro and its sophisticated illusionism, which were influential in the development of Baroque art. The fresco has been studied extensively for its artistic techniques and its impact on the evolution of European painting. The Apostles Peter and Paul detail is a testament to Correggio's ability to convey complex theological ideas through his art, making it an enduring subject of study for art historians and a cherished work for visitors to the cathedral.
