"De Verloochening Door Petrus" (The Denial of Peter) is a significant work by the Flemish Baroque painter Gerard Seghers, who was active during the early 17th century. Seghers, born in Antwerp in 1591, was a prominent figure in the Flemish art scene and is known for his dramatic use of light and shadow, a technique influenced by the Caravaggisti, followers of the Italian master Caravaggio.

This painting, created around 1620-1625, depicts the biblical scene of Saint Peter's denial of Jesus Christ, a narrative found in the New Testament. According to the Gospels, Peter denied knowing Jesus three times before the rooster crowed, fulfilling Jesus' prophecy about Peter's betrayal. Seghers captures this moment with intense emotional depth and a keen eye for detail, characteristic of his mature style.

In "De Verloochening Door Petrus," Seghers employs chiaroscuro, the strong contrast between light and dark, to highlight the central figures and create a sense of drama. The composition typically features Peter, often shown with a look of anguish or guilt, as he is confronted by a servant girl and others who recognize him as a follower of Jesus. The use of light not only focuses the viewer's attention on Peter's expressive face but also enhances the overall narrative tension of the scene.

Seghers' work is notable for its psychological realism and the way it conveys the inner turmoil of its subjects. This painting is a prime example of his ability to blend the spiritual and the human, capturing a moment of profound personal crisis within a broader religious context. "De Verloochening Door Petrus" stands as a testament to Seghers' skill in rendering complex emotional states and his contribution to the Baroque movement in Flemish art.
