"The Penitence of St. Peter" is a significant work by the Spanish Baroque painter Jusepe de Ribera, also known as José de Ribera or Lo Spagnoletto. Created in the early 17th century, this painting exemplifies Ribera's mastery in depicting intense human emotion and his adept use of chiaroscuro, a technique that employs stark contrasts between light and dark to achieve a sense of volume and three-dimensionality.

Ribera, who spent most of his career in Naples, was heavily influenced by the dramatic realism of Caravaggio. This influence is evident in "The Penitence of St. Peter," where Ribera captures the raw, emotional moment of St. Peter's repentance after denying Christ three times. The painting portrays St. Peter with a tear-streaked face, his eyes cast upward in a plea for forgiveness, embodying a profound sense of remorse and spiritual awakening.

The composition is marked by its simplicity and focus on the figure of St. Peter, who is often depicted with his traditional attributes, such as the keys to Heaven. Ribera's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the rendering of St. Peter's weathered skin and the textures of his garments, which add to the realism and emotional depth of the piece.

"The Penitence of St. Peter" is not only a testament to Ribera's technical skill but also to his ability to convey complex theological themes through art. The painting reflects the Counter-Reformation's emphasis on personal piety and repentance, making it a powerful devotional image for its contemporary audience. Today, it continues to be admired for its emotional intensity and artistic excellence, holding a significant place in the canon of Baroque religious art.
