The Stefaneschi Triptych is a three-paneled altarpiece painted by the Italian artist Giotto di Bondone around 1330. Commissioned by Cardinal Giacomo Gaetani Stefaneschi for the high altar of the Old St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, the triptych is a significant work of the early Trecento period, showcasing Giotto's innovative approach to religious art that would influence the development of Italian Renaissance painting.

The triptych is composed of multiple scenes, with the central panel depicting St. Peter enthroned, flanked by saints, in a composition that emphasizes hierarchy and symmetry. The left and right panels feature narratives from the lives of St. Peter and St. Paul, respectively, with the Martyrdom of Peter being one of the key scenes. This particular scene illustrates the apostle's crucifixion upside down, a request he made to differentiate his martyrdom from that of Jesus Christ. Giotto's treatment of the subject matter is noted for its emotional impact and the use of space to create a sense of depth, a departure from the flat, gold backgrounds typical of Byzantine art.

The reverse side of the triptych, intended to be seen by the clergy, includes a representation of the Cardinal Stefaneschi himself, offering the triptych to St. Peter, a testament to the practice of donor portraits in medieval art. The work's iconography and style reflect the transition from medieval to Renaissance art, with Giotto's use of chiaroscuro and naturalistic figures contributing to the illusion of three-dimensionality.

Today, the Stefaneschi Triptych is housed in the Pinacoteca Vaticana of the Vatican Museums, where it continues to be studied and admired for its historical significance and Giotto's mastery of form and narrative. The Martyrdom of Peter is particularly celebrated for its dramatic representation and for providing insight into the devotional practices and artistic patronage of the early 14th century.
