"Christ Giving the Keys to St. Peter" is a notable fresco by the Italian Renaissance painter Or di Giovanni Monte del Fora, also known as Or Ghirlandaio. This artwork, dating from the 15th century, is a significant example of the religious art of the period, depicting a pivotal moment from the New Testament. The fresco illustrates the biblical scene from the Gospel of Matthew (16:19), where Jesus Christ bestows the keys of heaven upon the Apostle Peter, symbolizing the transfer of authority and the establishment of the church with Peter as its first leader.

The composition of the fresco is carefully structured to emphasize the gravity of the event, with Christ at the center of the scene, handing over the keys to a kneeling Peter against a backdrop that often includes other apostles and a landscape that may reflect the contemporary understanding of a holy setting. The use of perspective, color, and attention to detail reflects the artistic innovations of the time and the influence of other Renaissance masters.

Or di Giovanni, active in Florence, was a contemporary of more widely known artists such as Domenico Ghirlandaio, and his work on this fresco showcases the stylistic characteristics and thematic concerns that were prevalent among Florentine artists of the late 15th century. The fresco is a testament to the artist's skill and contributes to our understanding of the religious and artistic culture of Renaissance Italy.

While the exact location and current condition of the fresco may require further research, "Christ Giving the Keys to St. Peter" remains an important work for scholars studying the iconography of St. Peter and the development of Renaissance art. The piece serves as a valuable example of the ways in which artists of the period engaged with biblical themes to create works that were both spiritually significant and artistically innovative.
