Painting Description
"St. Peter Heals a Cripple" (Italian: "San Pietro risana uno storpio") is a renowned fresco by the Italian painter Tommaso di Ser Giovanni di Simone, better known as Masolino da Panicale. This work is part of a series of frescoes painted by Masolino, often in collaboration with his pupil Masaccio, for the Brancacci Chapel in the church of Santa Maria del Carmine in Florence, Italy. The frescoes in the chapel are considered a cornerstone in the development of Renaissance art.
The fresco depicts a scene from the Acts of the Apostles (3:1-10), where Saint Peter, accompanied by Saint John, performs a miracle by healing a lame beggar at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple in Jerusalem. Masolino's rendering of this biblical episode is celebrated for its graceful figures and the use of perspective, which was innovative at the time of its creation in the early 15th century.
Masolino's work is characterized by soft, delicate color palettes and elegant figures that exhibit a sense of calm and serenity. In "St. Peter Heals a Cripple," these stylistic traits are evident and contrast with the more dynamic and dramatic approach of his pupil Masaccio, whose contributions to the Brancacci Chapel feature more robust figures and a stronger sense of volume and depth.
The fresco is an important example of early Renaissance art, showcasing the transition from the Gothic style to a more naturalistic approach that emphasizes human emotion and the accurate representation of space. Masolino's contribution to the Brancacci Chapel, including "St. Peter Heals a Cripple," laid the groundwork for the subsequent developments in Renaissance painting and had a profound influence on later artists.
The Brancacci Chapel frescoes underwent extensive restoration in the 1980s, which removed centuries of grime and overpainting, allowing viewers to appreciate the original luminosity and color of Masolino's work. "St. Peter Heals a Cripple" remains a significant piece within the chapel's narrative cycle and continues to be admired for its beauty and historical significance in the evolution of Western art.
