"The Repentant Peter" is a notable oil painting by the Greek-born artist Domenikos Theotokopoulos, widely known as El Greco, created around 1600 during the artist's mature period in Toledo, Spain. This work is one of several versions El Greco painted on this theme, each depicting the apostle Peter in a moment of remorse after having denied Jesus three times before the cock crowed, as described in the New Testament. The painting is a powerful representation of penitence and religious fervor, themes that are recurrent in El Greco's oeuvre and reflective of the Counter-Reformation's emphasis on personal piety and repentance.

In "The Repentant Peter," El Greco captures the emotional intensity of the moment through his distinctive use of elongated figures, dramatic lighting, and vibrant color palette. Peter is typically shown with tears on his cheeks, hands clasped in prayer, and his gaze turned heavenward, seeking forgiveness for his betrayal. The work's expressive force is further enhanced by the dynamic brushwork and the stark contrast between the dark background and the luminous figure of Peter, which draws the viewer's focus to the apostle's anguished expression.

While the exact dimensions and current location of this specific version of "The Repentant Peter" may vary, El Greco's renditions of this subject are held in several prestigious collections around the world, testifying to the enduring impact of the artist's interpretation of religious narratives. The painting serves as a poignant example of El Greco's unique style, which combines elements of Byzantine iconography with the dynamism of the Italian Renaissance and the mysticism of Spanish Catholicism, making him one of the most original and influential figures of the late 16th and early 17th centuries.
