"The Denial of Saint Peter" is a painting by the French Baroque artist Georges de La Tour, created in the mid-17th century. This work is one of La Tour's most celebrated and is known for its dramatic use of chiaroscuro and its powerful psychological depth. The painting depicts the biblical scene from the New Testament in which the Apostle Peter denies knowing Jesus Christ three times before the rooster crows, as Jesus had predicted at the Last Supper.

Georges de La Tour was renowned for his mastery of light and shadow, and "The Denial of Saint Peter" exemplifies this skill. The scene is illuminated by the soft glow of candlelight, which casts stark contrasts and allows for a profound exploration of human emotion and moral conflict. The painting captures the moment of Peter's third denial, with the figures' expressions and the interplay of light and shadow conveying the weight of his realization of his own betrayal.

The composition is typically La Tour, with a close-up view of the figures and a focus on the interaction between them. The work is characterized by its simplicity and the starkness of the figures against the dark background. The use of light not only highlights the drama of the moment but also serves to guide the viewer's attention to the central narrative and the psychological tension between the characters.

"The Denial of Saint Peter" is considered a prime example of La Tour's contribution to the tenebrist style, where darkness dominates the scene, punctuated by strategically placed and highly controlled sources of light. This painting, along with others by La Tour, contributed to the resurgence of interest in his work in the 20th century, leading to his recognition as one of the most important French painters of the 17th century.

Today, "The Denial of Saint Peter" is held in high regard for its artistic and historical significance. It is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, where it continues to be studied and admired for its compelling narrative and its exquisite demonstration of La Tour's artistic techniques.
