"Crucifixion of St. Peter and Disputation with Simon Magus before the Emperor Nero" is a fresco by the Italian Renaissance painter Fra Filippo Lippi. The artwork is notable for its depiction of two separate but thematically linked events from Christian tradition involving Saint Peter. The fresco is located in the Brancacci Chapel of the church of Santa Maria del Carmine in Florence, a chapel famous for its extensive and influential fresco cycle.

The left side of the fresco illustrates the "Crucifixion of St. Peter," a scene that portrays the martyrdom of the apostle Peter, who, according to Christian tradition, was crucified upside down in Rome under the orders of Emperor Nero. This representation of Peter's crucifixion is a powerful testament to his faith, as he was said to have requested to be crucified in this manner to avoid being equated with Jesus Christ.

On the right side, the "Disputation with Simon Magus before the Emperor Nero" depicts a legendary confrontation between Saint Peter and Simon Magus, a figure known from apocryphal texts and early Christian writings as a magician and false prophet. The disputation is set before Emperor Nero, who is shown presiding over the event. This scene reflects the early Christian community's struggle against false teachings and the defense of orthodox Christian doctrine.

Fra Filippo Lippi, born around 1406 and active until his death in 1469, was a prominent painter of the Italian Renaissance whose works are characterized by their delicate coloration and graceful figures. His contribution to the Brancacci Chapel's frescoes complements the work of other masters such as Masaccio and Masolino, who also contributed to the narrative cycle within the chapel.

The fresco by Lippi is an important work of the early Renaissance, showcasing the artist's skill in composition and his ability to convey complex theological themes through art. It is a valuable piece of the rich tapestry of Renaissance art and an example of the period's deep engagement with religious subject matter.
