"Les Larmes de Saint Pierre" (The Tears of Saint Peter) is a notable work by the Spanish Baroque painter Jusepe de Ribera, also known as José de Ribera or Lo Spagnoletto. This painting is a powerful representation of Saint Peter, one of the most prominent apostles in the Christian tradition, depicted in a moment of profound repentance and sorrow for having denied Jesus Christ three times before the cock crowed, as foretold by Jesus and recounted in the New Testament.

Jusepe de Ribera, born on January 12, 1591, in Játiva, near Valencia in Spain, was an influential figure in the Baroque period, known for his dramatic use of light and shadow, as well as his intense and often starkly realistic portrayals of religious and mythological subjects. Ribera spent most of his career in Italy, where he was deeply influenced by the works of Caravaggio and became a leading painter in Naples.

In "Les Larmes de Saint Pierre," Ribera's mastery of chiaroscuro is evident, with the interplay of light and dark serving to heighten the emotional intensity of the scene. Saint Peter is typically shown as an older man, his face etched with grief and his eyes brimming with tears, a testament to Ribera's ability to capture human emotion. The painting is imbued with a sense of genuine remorse and penitence, reflecting the Counter-Reformation's emphasis on personal piety and the inner experience of faith.

The exact date of "Les Larmes de Saint Pierre" is not definitively established, but it is generally believed to have been painted in the 1630s, during Ribera's mature period. The work is often praised for its psychological depth and its stark, almost brutal honesty, which are characteristic of Ribera's approach to religious subjects.

As a significant example of Ribera's oeuvre and Baroque religious art, "Les Larmes de Saint Pierre" continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and emotional power. It remains an important piece in understanding the evolution of European painting and the cultural context of the 17th century.
