"The Apparition of Apostle St. Peter to St. Peter of Nolasco" is a 1629 oil painting by the Spanish Baroque artist Francisco de Zurbarán. This work is a significant example of Zurbarán's religious paintings, which often featured stark chiaroscuro and a strong emphasis on the spiritual and mystical aspects of Christian narratives. The painting depicts a moment of divine intervention where Saint Peter the Apostle appears to Saint Peter of Nolasco, the founder of the Order of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mercy, also known as the Mercedarians.

In the composition, Zurbarán captures the ethereal appearance of the Apostle Peter, bathed in a celestial light, as he presents himself to the kneeling Saint Peter of Nolasco. The encounter is set against a dark background, a characteristic feature of Zurbarán's work, which serves to heighten the dramatic effect and focus the viewer's attention on the interaction between the two saints. The use of light not only illustrates the divine nature of the apparition but also showcases Zurbarán's skill in rendering texture and form, particularly in the depiction of the fabrics and the saints' expressions.

The painting is a testament to Zurbarán's mastery in portraying religious ecstasy and the supernatural, themes that were in high demand during the Counter-Reformation in Spain. His work reflects the spiritual fervor of the period and the Catholic Church's emphasis on the visual representation of saintly and miraculous events to inspire devotion among the faithful.

"The Apparition of Apostle St. Peter to St. Peter of Nolasco" remains an important work in the study of Spanish Baroque art and Zurbarán's oeuvre, offering insight into the religious and artistic sensibilities of 17th-century Spain. The painting is also notable for its influence on later artists and its role in perpetuating the iconography of the Mercedarian Order within the broader context of Christian art.
