"Raising of the Son of Theophilus and St Peter Enthroned" (1426-27) is a seminal fresco by the Italian Renaissance artist Masaccio (Tommaso di Giovanni di Simone Cassai), located in the Brancacci Chapel of the church of Santa Maria del Carmine in Florence. This work is part of a larger fresco cycle that marks a pivotal moment in the development of Renaissance art, showcasing Masaccio's innovative use of perspective, chiaroscuro (the dramatic contrast between light and dark), and realistic human emotion, which were groundbreaking at the time.

The fresco illustrates two interconnected biblical stories from the Acts of the Apostles. On the left, the narrative depicts the miraculous raising of the son of Theophilus, the Roman prefect of Antioch, by the apostles Peter and Paul. On the right, St. Peter is shown enthroned, symbolizing his authority and leadership in the early Christian community. This juxtaposition of themes of miraculous intervention and ecclesiastical authority reflects the complex theological and political context of early 15th-century Florence, where the fresco was commissioned by the wealthy Brancacci family.

Masaccio's work on the fresco is noted for its revolutionary approach to composition and perspective. He employs a vanishing point to create a realistic spatial depth, drawing the viewer into the scene. The figures are rendered with a sculptural solidity and individuality, each interacting within the narrative space in a convincingly naturalistic manner. The use of light and shadow not only gives the figures a three-dimensional form but also enhances the emotional intensity of the scene.

"Raising of the Son of Theophilus and St Peter Enthroned" is celebrated for its profound influence on the development of Renaissance art. Masaccio's techniques and stylistic choices would inspire generations of artists, including Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci. The fresco stands as a testament to the artist's brief but impactful career, marking a departure from the Gothic style of his predecessors and laying the groundwork for the Renaissance emphasis on realism, perspective, and human emotion.
