"Cristo con gli Apostoli," also known as "Christ with the Apostles," is a significant baroque painting by the Italian artist Mattia Preti (1613–1699). This work exemplifies Preti's dramatic use of chiaroscuro and his skill in depicting religious subjects with emotional depth and dynamic composition. The painting portrays Jesus Christ surrounded by his apostles, a common theme in Christian art that highlights the relationship between Christ and his disciples.

Mattia Preti, who was also known as Il Cavalier Calabrese (The Knight of Calabria), was an artist of the Baroque period who trained under Caravaggio's followers. His style was profoundly influenced by Caravaggio's naturalism and use of light and shadow. "Cristo con gli Apostoli" reflects Preti's mature style, characterized by vigorous brushwork, a rich color palette, and a masterful arrangement of figures within the space.

The exact date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, but it is generally attributed to the later period of Preti's career when he was active in Malta, where he was a respected member of the Order of St. John. The painting is notable for its depiction of the apostles as individuals with distinct emotional responses, a testament to Preti's ability to convey complex human states through his art.

"Cristo con gli Apostoli" is an important work in understanding the evolution of Baroque painting in Italy and the broader Mediterranean region. It showcases Preti's contribution to the religious iconography of the 17th century and his lasting impact on the art of the Baroque era. The painting is housed in a notable collection or museum, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
