"The Denial of St. Peter" is a significant painting by the Italian Baroque artist Bartolomeo Manfredi, created in the early 17th century, around 1610. This artwork is a profound representation of a biblical scene from the New Testament, where Peter, one of Jesus' apostles, denies knowing Jesus three times before the rooster crows, as Jesus had predicted. Manfredi, known for his realistic and dramatic interpretation of religious and mythological themes, employs a tenebrist style in this painting, a technique characterized by stark contrasts between light and dark, to enhance the emotional intensity of the scene.

The painting showcases Manfredi's mastery in capturing human emotions and his ability to convey a narrative through the expressions and gestures of the figures. The scene is set at night, which allows Manfredi to use chiaroscuro to dramatic effect, focusing the viewer's attention on the central figures: Peter, the serving maid who questions him, and a soldier. The interplay of light and shadow not only highlights the guilt and turmoil in Peter's expression but also adds a sense of immediacy and realism to the scene.

"The Denial of St. Peter" by Bartolomeo Manfredi is an exemplary work of the Caravaggisti, artists who were influenced by the revolutionary style of Caravaggio, embracing naturalism, dramatic lighting, and a focus on ordinary people in extraordinary moments. Manfredi's painting is not only a religious artwork but also a study of human psychology and emotion, reflecting the complexity of faith, guilt, and redemption. This painting is considered one of Manfredi's masterpieces and contributes significantly to the understanding of Baroque art and its emphasis on realism, emotion, and the human experience.
