"Christ Handing the Keys to St. Peter" (detail-5) is a notable segment of the larger fresco "Christ Giving the Keys to St. Peter," created by the Italian Renaissance painter Pietro Vannucci, commonly known as Perugino. This work was executed between 1481 and 1482 and is part of the extensive fresco cycle commissioned for the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City. Perugino, a master of the Umbrian school, was one of the leading artists of his time and played a crucial role in the development of the High Renaissance style.

The fresco depicts a pivotal moment in Christian theology, where Christ entrusts the keys of Heaven to St. Peter, symbolizing the apostle's role as the first pope and the foundation of the Church. This act is a reference to the biblical passage in the Gospel of Matthew (16:18-19), where Jesus says to Peter, "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven." The detail-5 portion of the fresco captures the intricate expressions and gestures of the figures, showcasing Perugino's skill in rendering human emotion and divine interaction.

Perugino's composition is characterized by its harmonious balance, use of perspective, and serene landscape, which were innovative at the time and influenced subsequent generations of artists, including his famous pupil, Raphael. The fresco's architectural elements, such as the triumphal arches and the octagonal temple in the background, reflect the Renaissance fascination with classical antiquity and the principles of symmetry and proportion.

The detail-5 segment specifically highlights the central figures of Christ and St. Peter, emphasizing the moment of the keys' transfer. The clarity of the figures, the delicate use of color, and the meticulous attention to detail exemplify Perugino's mastery and contribute to the overall narrative and theological significance of the fresco. This work remains an essential piece of Renaissance art, reflecting the period's artistic, cultural, and religious milieu.
