"The Liberation of Saint Peter" is a renowned oil painting by Luca Giordano, a prominent Italian Baroque artist of the 17th century. This artwork, which dates from around 1660-1665, vividly depicts the biblical episode from the Acts of the Apostles (Acts 12:5-11), where Saint Peter is miraculously freed from prison by an angel sent by God. The scene is set in a darkened cell, illuminated by the divine light emanating from the angel, who gently rouses Peter from his slumber. The composition is dramatic and theatrical, with a strong use of chiaroscuro to enhance the supernatural event.

Giordano, known for his speed in painting and hence nicknamed "Luca fa presto" (Luca works quickly), was a prolific artist whose works were characterized by their dynamic compositions, vibrant colors, and fluid brushwork. "The Liberation of Saint Peter" is a prime example of his mastery in handling light and shadow to create a sense of depth and volume, as well as his ability to convey the emotional intensity of religious narratives.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical context. During the Counter-Reformation, the Catholic Church encouraged the creation of art that would inspire the faithful and reaffirm key Christian teachings. Giordano's work, with its emphasis on divine intervention and the power of faith, aligns with the Church's objectives during this period.

"The Liberation of Saint Peter" is held in high esteem among Giordano's oeuvre and is often highlighted in discussions of Baroque art. It showcases the artist's skill in blending the natural with the supernatural, creating a scene that is both realistic and otherworldly. The painting remains an important cultural artifact, reflecting the religious, artistic, and social currents of its time.
