"Le Lacrime di San Pietro" (The Tears of Saint Peter) by Lorenzo Garbieri, also known as Il Nepote due to his relation to the prominent Bolognese artist Bartolomeo Cesi, is a significant work of Italian Baroque art. Garbieri (1580–1654) was an Italian painter who contributed to the decoration of many churches in Bologna and beyond, and his works are characterized by their dramatic intensity and vibrant use of color.

This particular painting, whose date of creation is not precisely documented, depicts the poignant moment of Saint Peter's remorse after having denied knowing Jesus Christ three times before the cock crowed, as described in the New Testament. The subject of Saint Peter's tears was a common theme in Counter-Reformation art, intended to evoke emotional responses from viewers and encourage penitence and devotion.

In "Le Lacrime di San Pietro," Garbieri captures the raw emotion of Saint Peter's repentance with a powerful realism. The saint's expression is one of profound sorrow and contrition, and the artist's attention to detail in the rendering of Saint Peter's features and the tears streaming down his face enhances the painting's emotive impact. The use of chiaroscuro, a technique that employs strong contrasts between light and dark, further dramatizes the scene and draws the viewer's focus to the central figure of the repentant apostle.

The painting is a testament to Garbieri's skill in conveying complex human emotions and his ability to create a spiritual narrative that resonates with the viewer. "Le Lacrime di San Pietro" remains an important work within the oeuvre of Lorenzo Garbieri and a valuable piece for the study of Baroque religious painting and the cultural context of the period in which it was created.
