"St. Peter and Cornelius the Centurion" is a 17th-century oil painting by the Italian Baroque artist Bernardo Cavallino, believed to have been created in the 1640s. The painting depicts the biblical story from the Acts of the Apostles (Chapter 10), where Cornelius the Centurion, a Roman army officer, is visited by an angel who instructs him to seek out Peter. Subsequently, Peter has a vision that leads him to meet Cornelius, an event that signifies the opening of the Christian Church to the Gentiles.

Cavallino, known for his vibrant use of color and adept handling of light, brings this religious narrative to life with a dramatic interplay of light and shadow, a characteristic feature of the tenebrist style that was popular among Baroque painters. The artist's focus on the emotional intensity of the scene and the intimate interaction between the figures reflects the influence of the naturalism movement, which sought to depict subjects with a sense of realism and humanity.

The painting is a testament to Cavallino's skill in rendering textures and details, from the luxurious fabrics to the expressive faces of the figures, imbuing the scene with a sense of immediacy and depth. "St. Peter and Cornelius the Centurion" is considered an important work in Cavallino's oeuvre, showcasing his mastery of religious themes and his contribution to the Baroque period in Italian art.

While the exact location and provenance of the painting may not be well-documented, it stands as a significant example of Cavallino's artistic legacy and the broader cultural and religious milieu of 17th-century Italy. The work is emblematic of the era's artistic trends, including the merging of the spiritual with the earthly and the use of visual storytelling to convey religious messages to a broad audience.
