"La Chiamata di San Pietro" (The Calling of Saint Peter) is a significant Baroque painting by the Italian artist Bernardo Strozzi, which vividly captures the biblical episode of Jesus calling Peter to be his disciple. Painted circa 1630-1635, this artwork is a prime example of Strozzi's masterful use of color, light, and expressive figures to convey spiritual and emotional depth. Strozzi, who was both a Capuchin monk and a leading painter in Genoa before moving to Venice, is renowned for his contribution to the Baroque style, blending naturalism with the emerging theatricality of the period.

The painting depicts the moment from the Gospel of Matthew (Matthew 4:18-19) when Jesus calls Peter, a fisherman, to "follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." Strozzi's interpretation of this scene is notable for its dynamic composition and the intense interaction between Christ and Peter. The use of chiaroscuro, a technique that contrasts light and shadow, highlights the figures and adds a dramatic intensity to the scene, a hallmark of Baroque art.

"La Chiamata di San Pietro" not only showcases Strozzi's skill in portraying biblical narratives with emotional depth and realism but also reflects the broader religious and cultural currents of 17th-century Italy. The painting invites viewers to contemplate the themes of call and conversion, central to Christian theology, through its vivid portrayal of this transformative moment.

Currently, the painting is held in a private collection, and it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance. Through "La Chiamata di San Pietro," Bernardo Strozzi contributes a compelling visual interpretation of a pivotal biblical story, demonstrating his prowess as a leading figure in the Baroque movement and his enduring influence on the development of European art.
