"The Crucifixion of Saint Peter" is a renowned oil painting by the Italian Baroque master Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, created around 1600-1601. The work was commissioned by the Roman nobleman Marquis Vincenzo Giustiniani for his family's chapel in the church of Santa Maria del Popolo in Rome, where it remains to this day. The painting is one of two that Caravaggio created for the Giustiniani Chapel, the other being "The Conversion of Saint Paul."

Caravaggio's depiction of Saint Peter's martyrdom is a powerful example of his dramatic use of chiaroscuro and his ability to convey intense emotion and physicality. The scene portrays the apostle Peter being crucified upside down, a request he is said to have made to not be crucified in the same manner as Jesus Christ. The composition focuses on the muscular effort of the executioners as they raise the cross, capturing the moment of physical strain and the gravity of the event.

The painting is notable for its realistic portrayal of the human body and the use of light to highlight the drama of the scene. Caravaggio's signature style, with its stark contrasts of light and shadow, serves to enhance the emotional impact of the painting, drawing the viewer into the narrative. The work is a prime example of Caravaggio's influence on the development of Baroque painting and his ability to combine religious themes with a naturalistic approach.

"The Crucifixion of Saint Peter" has been widely studied and admired for its artistic merit and its place within Caravaggio's oeuvre. It is considered one of the artist's masterpieces and a significant contribution to the canon of Christian art. The painting's historical and cultural significance, as well as its influence on subsequent generations of artists, continues to be a subject of scholarly interest and public fascination.
