About the piece
Attributed to the Italian Baroque master Flaminio Torre, this 17th-century oil painting captures St. Peter in a profound state of penitence. The work is characterized by powerful chiaroscuro, highlighting the saint's weathered features and expressive hands against a deep, moody background, exemplifying the spiritual intensity of the period.
