"St. Peter and St. Paul" is a Renaissance painting by the Venetian artist Carlo Crivelli, created circa 1471. The artwork is a diptych, meaning it is composed of two panels, each depicting one of the two most prominent apostles in Christian history: St. Peter and St. Paul. The painting is renowned for Crivelli's meticulous attention to detail and his distinctive style that combines Northern European influences with Italian artistic traditions.

The left panel portrays St. Peter, easily identifiable by the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven, which are his traditional attribute in Christian iconography. He is depicted with a solemn expression, holding a book, which likely represents the Gospels or the New Testament, reflecting his role in the early Christian Church. The right panel features St. Paul, holding a sword, symbolizing both his martyrdom and the 'Sword of the Spirit,' which is the word of God mentioned in the Epistle to the Ephesians. Paul is also shown with a book, signifying his contributions to the New Testament through his epistles.

Crivelli's work is characterized by its linear precision and the elaborate decoration of the saints' garments, which showcase his skill in rendering textures and materials. The backgrounds of both panels are adorned with gold leaf, a typical feature of Crivelli's work, which adds a sense of divinity and richness to the composition. The halos of the saints are intricately designed, further emphasizing the sanctity of the figures.

"St. Peter and St. Paul" is a testament to Crivelli's unique position in the Quattrocento period of Italian art, as he bridged the gap between the Gothic and Renaissance styles. His work is often noted for its emotional intensity and the almost surreal quality of his figures, set against highly decorative backgrounds. This diptych is a prime example of Crivelli's artistry and his contribution to the development of Italian Renaissance painting.

The painting is part of the collection of the National Gallery in London, where it is on display for the public to view. It serves as an important piece for the study of Crivelli's oeuvre and the broader context of 15th-century Italian art.
