Jacob Adriaensz Backer was a prominent Dutch Golden Age painter known for his portraits and historical scenes. "De H. Petrus" is one of his notable works, although specific details about this painting are limited. Backer was born in 1608 in Harlingen and later moved to Amsterdam, where he became a successful artist. He was a contemporary of Rembrandt and was influenced by the same artistic trends of the time.

Backer's style is characterized by its clarity, smoothness, and the use of light to enhance the expressiveness of his subjects. He often depicted figures with a sense of dignity and grace, which can be seen in his religious and mythological paintings. "De H. Petrus" likely reflects these qualities, showcasing Backer's skill in rendering human emotion and character.

The painting is presumed to depict Saint Peter, a common subject in Christian art, known for being one of Jesus Christ's apostles and the first pope according to Catholic tradition. Saint Peter is often portrayed holding keys, symbolizing the keys to Heaven, or a book, representing his epistles. While specific details about the composition and current location of "De H. Petrus" are not well-documented, it is reasonable to assume that Backer employed his typical techniques of soft lighting and detailed facial expressions to convey the saint's spiritual significance.

Backer's works are appreciated for their technical proficiency and the ability to capture the essence of his subjects. Although "De H. Petrus" may not be as widely recognized as some of his other paintings, it contributes to the understanding of Backer's oeuvre and the broader context of 17th-century Dutch art. His paintings remain significant for their artistic merit and their reflection of the cultural and religious themes of his time.
