"St Peter c. 1405" is a notable tempera on panel painting by the Italian artist Lorenzo Monaco, a prominent figure in the late Gothic period. Lorenzo Monaco, born Piero di Giovanni, was active in Florence during the late 14th and early 15th centuries and is renowned for his contributions to the International Gothic style, characterized by elegant lines, vibrant colors, and intricate details.

The painting depicts St. Peter, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ and a foundational figure in Christianity, often regarded as the first Pope. In this work, Lorenzo Monaco captures St. Peter with a sense of solemnity and reverence, reflecting the saint's significant role in the early Church. The saint is typically portrayed with his traditional attributes, such as the keys to Heaven, which symbolize his authority, and a book or scroll, representing his epistles and teachings.

Executed around 1405, this painting exemplifies Lorenzo Monaco's mastery of tempera, a medium that involves the use of egg yolk to bind pigments, resulting in a luminous and durable finish. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate patterns of St. Peter's garments and the delicate rendering of his facial features. The use of gold leaf in the background and halo adds a celestial quality to the composition, enhancing the spiritual aura of the subject.

Lorenzo Monaco's work is significant for its blend of Byzantine influences and the emerging naturalism of the early Renaissance. "St Peter c. 1405" stands as a testament to his ability to convey both the divine and human aspects of religious figures, bridging the gap between the medieval and Renaissance artistic traditions. This painting not only reflects the devotional practices of its time but also offers insight into the evolving artistic techniques and religious iconography of early 15th-century Florence.
