The ''Crucifixion of St. Peter'' (Italian: ''Crocifissione di san Pietro'') is a significant work by the Italian Baroque master Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, painted in 1601 for the Cerasi Chapel of the church of Santa Maria del Popolo, in Rome. This powerful and emotive painting depicts the martyrdom of St. Peter by crucifixion—Peter was executed by being affixed to a cross, which, according to Christian tradition, was positioned upside down at his own request, as he felt unworthy to be crucified in the same manner as Jesus.

Caravaggio's treatment of the subject is notable for its stark realism, dramatic chiaroscuro, and the psychological intensity imbued in the figures. The painting's composition is dynamic and complex, with the viewer's attention focused on the aged apostle Peter, who is portrayed in a moment of suffering and resignation. The executioners strain to lift the heavy cross, emphasizing the physicality and brutality of the act.

The ''Crucifixion of St. Peter'' is often discussed in conjunction with another painting in the chapel, ''The Conversion of Saint Paul on the Road to Damascus'', as they both exemplify Caravaggio's innovative approach to religious art. His use of contemporary clothing and settings, along with his choice to depict the raw humanity of sacred figures, marked a significant departure from the idealized representations common in the Renaissance period.

As a masterpiece of Baroque painting, the ''Crucifixion of St. Peter'' is a testament to Caravaggio's ability to convey complex emotions and narrative through his command of light and shadow. The work has been extensively studied for its artistic and historical significance, and it remains a key example of Caravaggio's profound impact on the development of Western art.
