The Deliverance of Saint Peter is a painting by the Italian renaissance artist Raphael and his assistant Giulio Romano. It was painted in 1514 as part of Raphael's commission to decorate with frescoes the rooms that are now known as the Stanze di Raffaello, in the Apostolic Palace in the Vatican. It is located in the Stanza di Eliodoro, which is named after The Expulsion of Heliodorus from the Temple. The painting shows, in three episodes, how Saint Peter was liberated from Herod's prison by an angel, as described in Acts 12.
