Jusepe de Ribera's "Penitent Saint Peter" (1628-1632) depicts the apostle Peter in a moment of intense remorse. Painted in a tenebrist style, the composition emphasizes the dramatic chiaroscuro, with Peter's face illuminated by a single light source. His contorted posture and sorrowful expression convey the weight of his betrayal of Jesus. This powerful portrayal of repentance is characteristic of Ribera's work and exemplifies his mastery of realism and emotional depth.
