"Disputation with Simon Magus and Crucifixion of Peter (detail)" is a notable fresco by the Italian Renaissance painter Filippino Lippi. This work is part of a larger cycle of frescoes that adorn the Brancacci Chapel in the Church of Santa Maria del Carmine in Florence, Italy. Filippino Lippi, the son of the renowned painter Fra Filippo Lippi, was a prominent figure in the late 15th century, known for his intricate compositions and expressive figures.

The fresco depicts two significant episodes from early Christian history. The first scene, the "Disputation with Simon Magus," illustrates the confrontation between the Apostle Peter and Simon Magus, a sorcerer who claimed to possess divine powers. According to Christian tradition, Simon Magus attempted to demonstrate his abilities by flying, but Peter's prayers caused him to fall, thereby exposing his deceit. This event is a powerful representation of the triumph of true faith over falsehood and magic.

The second scene, the "Crucifixion of Peter," captures the martyrdom of Saint Peter, who, according to tradition, was crucified upside down at his own request, feeling unworthy to die in the same manner as Jesus Christ. This poignant moment is rendered with emotional intensity, highlighting Peter's humility and steadfast faith.

Lippi's frescoes are celebrated for their dynamic composition, vivid colors, and detailed portrayal of human emotion. The artist's skillful use of perspective and anatomical precision reflects the influence of his predecessors, such as Masaccio and Botticelli, while also showcasing his unique artistic vision. The frescoes in the Brancacci Chapel, including "Disputation with Simon Magus and Crucifixion of Peter (detail)," are considered masterpieces of Renaissance art, offering profound insights into the religious and cultural milieu of the period.
