"Martyrdom of St. Peter" is a fresco painting by the Italian Renaissance master Michelangelo Buonarroti, created between 1546 and 1550. The work is located in the Pauline Chapel of the Apostolic Palace in Vatican City. This particular fresco is one of two that Michelangelo painted in the chapel, the other being "The Conversion of Saul." The "Martyrdom of St. Peter" depicts the crucifixion of Saint Peter, who, according to Christian tradition, was executed in Rome under Emperor Nero's orders.

In the fresco, Michelangelo presents a dramatic and emotionally charged scene, capturing the moment of St. Peter's martyrdom. The apostle is shown being hoisted upside down on a cross, a request he is said to have made to not be crucified in the same manner as Jesus Christ, as he felt unworthy to die in the same way as his Savior. The composition is notable for its powerful figures and the use of foreshortening to convey depth and perspective.

Michelangelo was in his seventies when he began work on the frescoes in the Pauline Chapel, and the "Martyrdom of St. Peter" reflects his mature style, characterized by a more somber and expressive approach than his earlier works. The fresco is also significant as it is one of the last paintings completed by Michelangelo before his death in 1564.

The "Martyrdom of St. Peter" has been the subject of extensive art historical analysis and is considered an important work in the study of Michelangelo's late style. It is also a work of great religious significance, as it visually narrates the sacrifice and faith of one of Christianity's most important saints. The fresco remains an enduring testament to Michelangelo's mastery of the human form and his ability to convey complex emotional states through his art.
