"St. Peter Healing the Sick with his Shadow" is a fresco by the Italian Renaissance artist Masaccio, also known as Tommaso di Giovanni. Painted between 1426 and 1427, this work forms part of the decorative program for the Brancacci Chapel in the church of Santa Maria del Carmine in Florence, Italy. The fresco is one of a series that depicts scenes from the life of St. Peter and is renowned for its innovative use of perspective and chiaroscuro, which were groundbreaking at the time of its creation.

The fresco illustrates a passage from the Acts of the Apostles (5:15) in which the sick are laid out in the streets of Jerusalem, hoping that St. Peter's shadow might fall upon them and cure their ailments. Masaccio's depiction is celebrated for its realistic portrayal of the figures and the dramatic use of light and shadow, which not only gives depth to the scene but also emphasizes the divine nature of St. Peter's healing powers.

Masaccio's work on the Brancacci Chapel frescoes, including "St. Peter Healing the Sick with his Shadow," marks a significant departure from the Gothic style that dominated prior to the Renaissance. His use of linear perspective, a technique redeveloped by Filippo Brunelleschi, and his study of classical sculpture for inspiration, were instrumental in shaping the early Renaissance style and influenced countless artists who followed.

The fresco has been subject to various restoration efforts over the centuries, most notably in the 1980s when the removal of centuries of grime and overpainting revealed Masaccio's original vibrant colors and delicate details. Today, "St. Peter Healing the Sick with his Shadow" is recognized as a masterpiece of early Renaissance art and a testament to Masaccio's genius in capturing the human experience and emotion through his revolutionary approach to painting.
