"Il Martirio di San Pietro" (The Martyrdom of Saint Peter) is a 17th-century oil painting by Italian artist Giacomo Farelli. The work depicts the crucifixion of Saint Peter, a scene that has been a recurrent subject in Christian art, symbolizing the apostle's martyrdom and his unwavering faith. According to Christian tradition, Peter requested to be crucified upside down, as he felt unworthy to die in the same manner as Jesus Christ.

Farelli, active during the Baroque period, was known for his dramatic use of light and shadow, as well as his ability to convey intense emotion and physicality in his religious compositions. "Il Martirio di San Pietro" exemplifies these characteristics, showcasing Farelli's skill in rendering the human form and his understanding of the theatricality that defines much of Baroque art.

The painting is significant for its artistic merit and as an example of the Counter-Reformation's emphasis on dramatic, emotional works that were intended to inspire piety and devotion among viewers. Farelli's representation of Saint Peter's martyrdom would have served as a powerful visual sermon, reinforcing the messages of sacrifice and the strength of faith.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, it is generally attributed to Farelli's mature period, when he had fully developed his style and was receiving significant commissions. The current location of the painting, its provenance, and its history of ownership and exhibition are also important aspects of its legacy, providing insight into the cultural and historical context in which the work has been appreciated over time.

"Il Martirio di San Pietro" remains an important work within Giacomo Farelli's oeuvre and contributes to the broader understanding of Baroque religious art, reflecting the era's artistic trends and the role of visual arts in the spiritual life of the period.
