"Christ Handing the Keys to St. Peter" is a fresco by the Italian Renaissance painter Pietro Vannucci, known as Perugino, executed in 1481-82. This work is part of the series of frescoes commissioned for the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City. It depicts a significant event from the New Testament, where Jesus Christ gives the keys of heaven to Saint Peter, symbolizing the transfer of authority from Christ to his apostles, highlighting Peter's role as the first Pope and the foundation of the Church's apostolic succession.

The fresco is renowned for its spatial clarity, serene figures, and balanced composition, embodying the ideals of the High Renaissance. Perugino's mastery in the use of perspective is evident in the architectural setting, which provides a vivid backdrop to the biblical scene. The central figures of Christ and Saint Peter are depicted with solemn grace, surrounded by apostles and onlookers, each rendered with individualized features that showcase Perugino's skill in portraiture.

This artwork not only exemplifies Perugino's artistic prowess but also serves as a visual representation of the Papal authority and the theological principles underpinning the Catholic Church. Its placement in the Sistine Chapel, a site of paramount religious significance, underscores its importance in the canon of Christian art. Through "Christ Handing the Keys to St. Peter," Perugino contributed to the visual and cultural heritage of the Renaissance, leaving a lasting legacy that continues to be admired for its beauty and spiritual depth.
