"The Raising of the Son of Theophilus King of Antioch and St Peter Enthroned as First Bishop of Antioch" is a renowned fresco by the Italian Renaissance artists Masolino da Panicale (Tommaso di Cristoforo Fini) and Masaccio (Tommaso di Ser Giovanni di Simone). This collaborative work is part of a larger series of frescoes painted in the Brancacci Chapel, located in the church of Santa Maria del Carmine in Florence, Italy. The fresco represents two interrelated biblical scenes that showcase the miraculous powers of Saint Peter and his role in the early Christian church.

The left side of the fresco depicts the dramatic moment of "The Raising of the Son of Theophilus," where Saint Peter, through divine intervention, resurrects a young man. This scene is often interpreted as a demonstration of the apostle's ability to perform miracles, thereby affirming the divine authority bestowed upon him. The right side features "St Peter Enthroned as First Bishop of Antioch," symbolizing his leadership and foundational role in the establishment of the Christian community in Antioch, which was one of the earliest centers of Christianity.

The fresco is notable for its fusion of Masolino's graceful and delicate style with Masaccio's innovative use of perspective and chiaroscuro, which adds a sense of volume and realism to the figures. Masaccio's contributions, in particular, mark a significant departure from the Gothic style that dominated the era preceding the Renaissance. The fresco is a testament to the collaborative spirit of the period and is considered a masterpiece of early Renaissance art for its technical advancements and its profound impact on the development of painting.

The Brancacci Chapel frescoes were commissioned by Felice Brancacci, a wealthy Florentine merchant and politician, and the project was initiated by Masolino in 1424. Masaccio joined the work in 1425, and after Masolino left for Hungary in 1427, Masaccio continued the project until his untimely death in 1428. The frescoes were left unfinished and were later completed by Filippino Lippi in the 1480s.

"The Raising of the Son of Theophilus King of Antioch and St Peter Enthroned as First Bishop of Antioch" remains a significant cultural and historical artifact, attracting scholars and visitors who are interested in the evolution of Renaissance art and the depiction of religious narratives during this transformative period.
