San Pietro Liberato Dal Carcere, also known as Saint Peter Freed from Prison, is a significant Baroque painting by the Italian artist Mattia Preti. Created in the mid-17th century, this work exemplifies Preti's masterful use of chiaroscuro and his ability to convey dramatic intensity through both composition and lighting. Preti, a prominent figure in the Baroque movement, was known for his religious and historical scenes, and this painting is a testament to his skill in depicting biblical narratives with emotional depth and realism.

The painting illustrates the moment described in the Acts of the Apostles (12:6-11) when Saint Peter is miraculously freed from prison by an angel. Preti captures the climactic instant of divine intervention with a dynamic interplay of light and shadow. The angel, bathed in a celestial glow, contrasts sharply with the dark, oppressive confines of the prison, highlighting the miraculous nature of Peter's liberation. The saint himself is depicted in a state of awe and confusion, his chains falling away as he rises to follow the angel.

Preti's use of tenebrism, a technique characterized by stark contrasts between light and dark, enhances the dramatic effect and draws the viewer's focus to the central figures. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the rendering of textures, from the rough stone walls of the prison to the delicate, flowing garments of the angel. This attention to detail, combined with the powerful emotional content, makes San Pietro Liberato Dal Carcere a compelling example of Baroque religious art.

The painting is housed in the Museo di Capodimonte in Naples, Italy, where it continues to be a subject of study and admiration for its artistic and historical significance. Through this work, Mattia Preti not only demonstrates his technical prowess but also his ability to convey profound spiritual themes, making it a notable piece in the canon of Baroque art.
