"Disputation with Simon Magus and Crucifixion of Peter" is a renowned fresco by the Italian Renaissance painter Filippino Lippi. Painted between 1481 and 1482, this artwork is located in the Brancacci Chapel, within the church of Santa Maria del Carmine in Florence, Italy. The fresco is part of a larger series of paintings that depict the life of St. Peter, one of the apostles of Jesus Christ.

The artwork is divided into two scenes. On the left, the "Disputation with Simon Magus" portrays a legendary event in Christian history where St. Peter confronts the magician Simon Magus, who was attempting to prove his divine powers. According to Christian tradition, Simon Magus was a Samaritan magician and a contemporary of the apostles in the first century AD. The disputation is a dramatic representation of the conflict between Christian faith and pagan magic, with St. Peter invoking the power of God to overcome the sorcerer's illusions.

On the right side of the fresco, "The Crucifixion of Peter" depicts the martyrdom of St. Peter, who, according to early Christian tradition, was crucified upside down at his own request, as he felt unworthy to die in the same manner as Jesus. This scene is particularly poignant, capturing the moment of Peter's ultimate sacrifice and his unwavering faith.

Filippino Lippi, the son of the painter Fra Filippo Lippi, was a prominent figure in the Florentine Renaissance. His work in the Brancacci Chapel is considered one of his masterpieces, showcasing his skill in composition, his use of color, and his ability to convey complex narratives and emotions. The fresco stands as a testament to Lippi's artistic legacy and is an important work in the history of Renaissance art. It continues to attract scholars and art enthusiasts for its historical significance and its beauty, contributing to the rich cultural heritage of Florence.
