"The Denying of Peter" (1636) is an oil painting by Dutch Golden Age artist Jan Miense Molenaer. This work depicts the biblical scene of the Apostle Peter denying knowledge of Jesus Christ three times before the rooster crows, as foretold by Jesus at the Last Supper. The event is a poignant moment in the New Testament, highlighting themes of human weakness, fear, and subsequent repentance.

Molenaer, known for his genre scenes and portraits, often infused his works with a sense of drama and narrative, which is evident in "The Denying of Peter." The painting is characterized by its use of chiaroscuro, the strong contrast between light and dark, to heighten the emotional intensity of the scene. Molenaer's composition focuses on the figure of Peter, whose expression captures the moment of his denial, while the accusers and onlookers are portrayed with varying degrees of engagement and emotion.

Created during a period when religious subjects were popular among Dutch artists, Molenaer's interpretation of this biblical episode reflects the Calvinist context of the time, emphasizing moral lessons and individual spirituality. The painting not only serves as a religious and moral allegory but also showcases Molenaer's skill in rendering human emotion and interaction.

"The Denying of Peter" is considered an important work within Molenaer's oeuvre, illustrating his ability to transcend the boundaries between genre painting and religious art. The painting is held in a private collection or a museum, and it has been studied for its artistic merit as well as its theological implications within the context of 17th-century Dutch society.
