"Christus Übergibt Petrus Den Schlüssel" (English: "Christ Handing the Keys to Peter") is an engraving by Cornelis Cort, a Dutch engraver and draughtsman of the Renaissance period. Created in the 16th century, this work is based on a design by the Italian painter and architect Giulio Romano, reflecting the close collaboration between printmakers and painters of the time. The engraving depicts the biblical scene from the Gospel of Matthew (16:18-19), where Jesus Christ gives the Apostle Peter the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven, symbolizing the authority to lead the Church.

Cornelis Cort, born around 1533 in Hoorn, Netherlands, was known for his skillful engravings that often reproduced or interpreted the works of Italian masters. He moved to Italy to further his craft, where he worked with prominent artists and became a pivotal figure in disseminating Renaissance art throughout Europe through his prints. "Christus Übergibt Petrus Den Schlüssel" is a testament to Cort's technical prowess and his ability to convey the depth and complexity of Italian Renaissance compositions to a broader audience.

The engraving is characterized by its intricate detail and dynamic composition, showcasing Cort's mastery of the burin, the tool used for engraving on copper plates. The artwork captures the moment with a sense of grandeur and solemnity, emphasizing the significance of the event within Christian theology. The figures are rendered with a strong sense of volume and spatial coherence, indicative of the influence of Italian Renaissance art on Cort's style.

"Christus Übergibt Petrus Den Schlüssel" is not only a reflection of Cort's artistic abilities but also an important cultural artifact that illustrates the exchange of artistic ideas and techniques between the Low Countries and Italy during the Renaissance. The engraving remains an important work for the study of printmaking history and the dissemination of Renaissance art. It is also a valuable piece for understanding the religious and iconographic themes that were prevalent in European art during this period.
