"Christ Giving the Keys to St. Peter" (Italian: "Consegna delle chiavi") is a renowned fresco by the Italian Renaissance artist Pietro Vannucci, commonly known as Perugino. Executed between 1481 and 1482, the fresco is a significant piece of the Sistine Chapel's decoration in Vatican City, commissioned by Pope Sixtus IV. This masterpiece is celebrated for its depiction of a pivotal New Testament event, where Christ entrusts the keys of the kingdom of heaven to Saint Peter, symbolizing the latter's authority as the first Pope and the foundation of the Church's apostolic succession.

Perugino's composition masterfully combines architectural and natural elements to create a harmonious and balanced scene, set against a backdrop that showcases his skill in perspective, a hallmark of Renaissance art. The central figures of Christ and Saint Peter are surrounded by a semicircle of apostles and other onlookers, with the exchange of the keys taking place in a spacious, idealized landscape that extends into a meticulously detailed horizon. This setting not only emphasizes the significance of the moment but also reflects the Renaissance interest in the integration of art, architecture, and nature.

The fresco is notable for its clarity of form, serene figures, and the use of linear perspective, which guides the viewer's eye towards the central action. Perugino's use of light, color, and space contributes to the tranquil and ordered atmosphere of the scene, embodying the ideals of High Renaissance art. "Christ Giving the Keys to St. Peter" not only exemplifies Perugino's mastery of fresco technique but also serves as a testament to the cultural and religious values of the period, capturing a moment of divine authority and earthly governance intertwined.

As a key work in the oeuvre of Perugino and a significant contribution to the Sistine Chapel's artistic legacy, "Christ Giving the Keys to St. Peter" continues to be studied and admired for its artistic achievement and its profound symbolic meaning within the context of Christian iconography.
