"St Peter Preaching" is a significant fresco created by the Italian Renaissance painter Tommaso Masolino da Panicale, commonly known as Masolino. This artwork is part of the extensive fresco cycle in the Brancacci Chapel of the Church of Santa Maria del Carmine in Florence, Italy. The cycle, which also includes contributions from Masolino's more famous contemporary, Masaccio, is renowned for its pivotal role in the development of Renaissance art.

Masolino's "St Peter Preaching" depicts the Apostle Peter delivering a sermon to a diverse crowd, a scene that underscores the early Christian mission of spreading the Gospel. The fresco is notable for its detailed representation of the figures, the use of perspective, and the naturalistic portrayal of human expressions and gestures, which were innovative techniques during the early 15th century. Masolino's style in this fresco is characterized by a delicate and refined approach, with a softer modeling of figures compared to the more robust and dramatic style of Masaccio.

The Brancacci Chapel frescoes, including "St Peter Preaching," were commissioned by Felice Brancacci, a wealthy Florentine silk merchant, around 1424. The chapel's decoration was intended to illustrate the life of St. Peter, the patron saint of the Brancacci family, and to serve as a visual representation of the power and authority of the Church. The collaboration between Masolino and Masaccio in the chapel is often seen as a bridge between the Gothic and Renaissance styles, blending Masolino's elegant and graceful figures with Masaccio's groundbreaking use of perspective and chiaroscuro.

"St Peter Preaching" is an essential work for understanding the transition in art from the medieval to the Renaissance period. It reflects the evolving artistic techniques and the increasing emphasis on realism and humanism that characterized the early Renaissance. The fresco continues to be studied and admired for its historical significance and its contribution to the development of Western art.
