"The Crucifixion of St. Peter" is a fresco painting by the Italian Renaissance master Michelangelo Buonarroti (c. 1546-1550). It is housed in the Cappella Paolina, Vatican Palace, in the Vatican City. It is the last fresco executed by Michelangelo.
The artist portrayed St. Peter in the moment in which he was raised by the Roman soldiers to the cross. Michelangelo concentrated the attention on the depiction of pain and suffering. The faces of the people present are contracted in a horrified grim, and several of the observers seem going to die. Pope Paul commissioned this fresco by michelangelo on 1541 and unveiled it in his chapel (capella paolina, pauline chapel).
