The ''Martyrium des hl. Petrus Martyr'' (Martyrdom of Saint Peter Martyr), also known as the ''Assassination of Saint Peter Martyr'', is a renowned painting by the Italian Renaissance master Tiziano Vecellio, commonly known as Titian. Created circa 1526–1530, this work is a significant example of Titian's early mastery in depicting dramatic narratives, a skill that would define much of his later work. The painting was commissioned for the church of SS. Giovanni e Paolo in Venice, where Saint Peter Martyr himself was buried.

The painting illustrates the moment of martyrdom of Saint Peter of Verona, also known as Saint Peter Martyr, a Dominican friar who was assassinated by heretical assassins in 1252. The composition is notable for its dynamic arrangement and the emotional intensity conveyed through the figures. The saint is depicted at the moment of his death, falling to the ground as he receives a fatal blow to the head, while a companion flees in terror in the background. The lush landscape setting is typical of Venetian Renaissance art and provides a stark contrast to the violent act taking place.

Titian's use of color and light in the ''Martyrium des hl. Petrus Martyr'' is particularly noteworthy, with the red of the martyr's blood and the verdant greens of the landscape contributing to the dramatic impact of the scene. The work is a prime example of the High Renaissance style, showcasing Titian's ability to blend the naturalistic detail with the idealized forms that characterized the period's artistic achievements.

The original painting was tragically destroyed in a fire in 1867, but its composition is known through numerous copies and engravings that were made after the original. The loss of the ''Martyrium des hl. Petrus Martyr'' is considered a significant loss to the art world, as it represented an important phase in Titian's artistic development and had been regarded as one of his major works. Despite its destruction, the painting continues to be studied and admired through the surviving reproductions, which attest to Titian's enduring influence on the history of Western art.
