"St. Peter Delivered by an Angel" is a significant work by Italian painter Filippo Vitale, created in the early 17th century, specifically around 1620-1625. This painting is a remarkable example of Baroque art, a period known for its dramatic use of light and shadow, as well as its emotional intensity and realism. Filippo Vitale, although not as widely recognized as some of his contemporaries, was an important figure in the Neapolitan school of painting, contributing significantly to the development of Baroque painting in southern Italy.

The artwork depicts the biblical story of Saint Peter's miraculous escape from prison, as narrated in the Acts of the Apostles (Acts 12:6-10). According to the scripture, the night before Peter was to be brought to trial, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in his cell, woke him up, and led him out of the prison, past all guards, to freedom. This narrative has been a popular subject in Christian art, symbolizing divine intervention and the power of faith.

Vitale's interpretation of this story is noted for its dramatic portrayal of the angel and Peter, with a strong emphasis on the contrast between the divine light surrounding the angel and the darkness of the prison cell. This not only highlights the miraculous nature of the event but also showcases Vitale's mastery of chiaroscuro, a technique that became a hallmark of Baroque painting. The composition is dynamic, with the figures positioned in a way that guides the viewer's eye through the scene, from the divine light to the astonished expression of Peter, effectively conveying the emotional intensity of the moment.

"St. Peter Delivered by an Angel" is considered one of Vitale's masterpieces, showcasing his skill in composition, his ability to convey narrative through visual means, and his adept use of light and shadow. The painting is a valuable piece for the study of Baroque art and provides insight into the religious and cultural context of 17th-century Italy. It remains an important work for scholars, art enthusiasts, and those interested in the development of religious art in Europe.
