"The Raising of Petronilla" is a significant Baroque painting by the Italian artist Carlo Saraceni. Created in the early 17th century, this artwork is notable for its depiction of the miraculous event involving Saint Petronilla, who is traditionally considered to be the daughter of Saint Peter. The painting illustrates the moment of her resurrection, a narrative derived from the Golden Legend, which is a collection of hagiographies that was widely read during the medieval period.

Carlo Saraceni, an influential painter of the Venetian school, was known for his ability to blend the rich color palette characteristic of Venetian art with the dramatic chiaroscuro and dynamic compositions of the Roman Baroque style. In "The Raising of Petronilla," Saraceni showcases his mastery of light and shadow, creating a sense of depth and movement that draws the viewer into the scene. The painting's composition is carefully orchestrated, with figures arranged to guide the eye towards the central action of Petronilla's miraculous revival.

The work is a testament to the Counter-Reformation's emphasis on the visual arts as a means of inspiring faith and devotion among the Catholic faithful. Through its vivid storytelling and emotional resonance, "The Raising of Petronilla" serves as an example of how Baroque artists used religious subjects to engage viewers and communicate theological messages.

"The Raising of Petronilla" is held in high regard for its artistic merit and its role in the broader context of Baroque religious art. As with many of Saraceni's works, it reflects the influence of Caravaggio, with whom Saraceni is thought to have had contact during his time in Rome. The painting remains an important piece for the study of early 17th-century Italian art and offers insight into the cultural and religious milieu of the period.
