The Throne of Saint Peter, also known as the Cathedra Petri (Latin, "Chair of Peter"), is a monumental sculptural relic commissioned by Pope Alexander VII and created by the Italian artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini and his workshop. Completed in 1666, the work is housed in the apse of St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City and serves as a symbolic and liturgical focal point, encapsulating the authority of the Pope and the apostolic succession from Saint Peter, one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus and the first Bishop of Rome, whom Catholics consider the first Pope.

Bernini's Cathedra Petri is not a standalone piece but an elaborate, gilded bronze casing that enshrines an ancient wooden chair, traditionally believed to have been used by Saint Peter himself. The chair is supported by four statues representing four Doctors of the Church, two from the Western Church (Saints Augustine of Hippo and Ambrose of Milan) and two from the Eastern Church (Saints John Chrysostom and Athanasius of Alexandria), symbolizing the unity of Christianity. Above the chair, a brilliant stained glass window with a dove, representing the Holy Spirit, radiates light and color, further emphasizing the divine authority and inspiration attributed to the papacy.

Bernini's design masterfully integrates architecture, sculpture, and light to create a visually stunning tableau that is both a devotional object and a masterpiece of Baroque art. The Throne of Saint Peter is considered one of Bernini's most significant works, showcasing his ability to transform a traditional iconographic motif into a dynamic, three-dimensional experience for the viewer. It remains a powerful representation of the Catholic Church's continuity and tradition, as well as a testament to Bernini's artistic genius.
