"Denial of St Peter" is a Baroque painting by the Flemish artist Gerard Seghers, created in the early 17th century. Seghers, known for his dramatic use of light and shadow influenced by the Italian master Caravaggio, was a prominent figure in the Flemish school of painting. This work 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.

The painting captures the moment of Peter's denial with a strong emotional resonance, highlighting the tension and inner turmoil experienced by Peter. Seghers employs chiaroscuro to enhance the dramatic effect, focusing the viewer's attention on the central figures and the exchange taking place. The use of light not only illuminates the characters but also serves as a metaphor for the revelation of truth and the weight of conscience.

"Denial of St Peter" is considered an important work in Seghers' oeuvre, showcasing his skill in rendering religious narratives with psychological depth and human vulnerability. The painting reflects the Counter-Reformation's emphasis on engaging the faithful through evocative and accessible religious art. Seghers' interpretation of this scene has been appreciated for its ability to convey the complex emotions of guilt, shame, and repentance.

The artwork is part of a larger tradition of depicting this poignant New Testament episode, which has been a subject of interest for many artists throughout the history of art, each bringing their own perspective and style to the narrative. Gerard Seghers' "Denial of St Peter" remains a significant contribution to this tradition, offering viewers a compelling visual meditation on one of the most human moments in the biblical account of the Passion of Christ.
