"St. Peter Healing the Sick with His Shadow" (1426-27) is a renowned fresco by the Italian Renaissance painter Masaccio (Tommaso di Giovanni), located in the Brancacci Chapel of the church of Santa Maria del Carmine in Florence. This work is part of a larger cycle of frescoes that depict scenes from the life of St. Peter and are considered one of Masaccio's masterpieces, showcasing his pioneering techniques in perspective and chiaroscuro.

The fresco illustrates a miraculous event from the Acts of the Apostles (5:15) where the sick are laid out in the streets of Jerusalem in the hope that St. Peter's shadow might fall upon them and cure their ailments. Masaccio's depiction is celebrated for its dramatic realism and the skillful use of light and shadow to create a sense of three-dimensional space. The figures are rendered with a weight and solidity that were revolutionary for the time, and the use of perspective guides the viewer's eye to the central figure of St. Peter, whose shadow extends towards the afflicted.

Masaccio's work on the Brancacci Chapel was left incomplete upon his untimely death in 1428, and the frescoes were later finished by other artists, including Filippino Lippi. Despite the collaborative nature of the chapel's decoration, "St. Peter Healing the Sick with His Shadow" stands as a testament to Masaccio's artistic legacy and his influence on the development of Renaissance art. The fresco is not only a significant religious and historical representation but also a milestone in the evolution of pictorial space and naturalism in European painting.
