"The Liberation of St. Peter" is a fresco by the Italian artist Sisto Badalocchio, created as part of his work in the Cappella Paolina (Pauline Chapel) in the Vatican. Badalocchio, who was a student of Annibale Carracci, collaborated with his fellow pupil Giovanni Lanfranco on the chapel's frescoes, which were commissioned by Pope Paul V in the early 17th century. The work depicts the miraculous event described in the Acts of the Apostles (Acts 12:5-11), where an angel appears to Saint Peter to free him from prison.

Completed around 1612, "The Liberation of St. Peter" showcases Badalocchio's mastery of chiaroscuro and his ability to convey dramatic intensity. The fresco is notable for its use of light to highlight the supernatural elements of the scene, with the angel's divine presence casting a glow that contrasts with the darkness of the prison cell. Badalocchio's composition focuses on the interaction between the angel and the apostle, capturing the moment of St. Peter's realization of his deliverance.

As a significant work of the Roman Baroque period, "The Liberation of St. Peter" reflects the influence of Caravaggio's tenebrism and Carracci's classicism. Badalocchio's contribution to the Cappella Paolina is often overshadowed by the works of his contemporaries, yet his frescoes, including "The Liberation of St. Peter," are important examples of the dynamic and emotive potential of Baroque art. The fresco remains an integral part of the Vatican's artistic heritage and continues to be studied for its stylistic and historical significance.
