"Christ Handing the Keys to St. Peter" is a fresco by the Italian Renaissance painter Pietro Perugino, completed between 1481 and 1482. The painting is located in the Sistine Chapel, Vatican City, and forms part of a series that depicts the life of Christ as part of the chapel's decorative scheme commissioned by Pope Sixtus IV. This particular fresco illustrates the biblical scene from the Gospel of Matthew (16:18-19), where Jesus Christ gives the keys of heaven to St. Peter, symbolizing the transfer of authority from Christ to the apostles, particularly Peter's role as the leader and the foundational rock of the Church.

The artwork is renowned for its use of perspective, with a central vanishing point that enhances the depth and the three-dimensional illusion of the space. Architectural elements like a triumphal arch and rows of columns guide the viewer's eye towards the central figures of Christ and St. Peter. The composition is balanced and harmonious, reflecting the ideals of the High Renaissance. The figures are arranged in a calm and orderly manner, and their serene expressions convey a sense of dignity and grace. This fresco is considered one of Perugino's masterpieces and is noted for its clarity of composition and the skillful use of perspective, which was a significant development in art during the Renaissance period.
