The Stefaneschi Triptych is a magnificent altarpiece painting created by the Italian artist Giotto di Bondone around 1330. Commissioned by Cardinal Giacomo Gaetani Stefaneschi, the triptych was intended for the high altar of the old St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. This work is a seminal piece of early Renaissance art, showcasing Giotto's pioneering techniques that marked a departure from the Byzantine style prevalent during the Middle Ages towards a more naturalistic approach.

The triptych consists of three panels, with the central panel depicting St. Peter enthroned, flanked by angels and saints. St. Peter, the first bishop of Rome and a pivotal figure in Christianity, is portrayed with a solemn grandeur befitting his status as a prince of the apostles. The side panels feature scenes from the lives of Christ and St. Peter, including the Crucifixion, the Martyrdom of St. Peter, and St. Peter walking on water. These narrative scenes are notable for their emotional expressiveness and the use of space and perspective, which were innovative at the time.

The reverse side of the triptych, visible when the wings were closed, displayed a representation of the cardinal himself offering the triptych to St. Peter, along with depictions of the martyrdom of St. Paul and St. James. This self-referential portrait is one of the earliest known examples of donor portraiture in Western art, highlighting the growing trend of patrons immortalizing themselves within religious artworks.

Crafted with tempera and gold leaf on wood, the Stefaneschi Triptych is a testament to Giotto's mastery of color and composition. The altarpiece's original location in the old St. Peter's Basilica, which was demolished in the 16th century to make way for the current basilica, underscores its historical and religious significance. Today, the triptych is housed in the Pinacoteca Vaticana, the Vatican's art museum, where it continues to be admired for its artistic innovation and its pivotal role in the development of Renaissance art.
