# Disputation with Simon Magus and Crucifixion of Peter \(left view\) [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [LIPPI, Filippino]() - Date: 1451-1500 - Technique: Fresco ## Commentary This fresco depicts the two last episodes from the story of the life of Peter: to the right we see him, with St Paul, in his dispute with Simon Magus in front of the Emperor; to the left, his Crucifixion. This is the left side of the fresco showing the crucifixion. Among the portraits Filippino has included in his fresco, the most interesting are the following: a selfportrait \(the first figure to the left, looking towards the spectator\); the first man to the right of the three men standing between St Peter and Nero is Antonio del Pollaiolo, while the one to the left is probably Raggio, a merchant's broker mentioned by Vasari, and not Botticelli as had been suggested previously; whereas in the group of three to the right in the Crucifixion of Peter, the man looking towards the audience is probably Botticelli. ## Related artworks - [Abraham]() - [Adam]() - [Adoration of the Child \(detail\)]() - [Adoration of the Child]() - [Adoration of the Child]() - [Adoration of the Magi \(detail\)]() - [Adoration of the Magi \(detail\)]() - [Adoration of the Magi]() - [Adoration of the Magi]() - [Allegory of Music or Erato]() - [Allegory]() - [Altar wall of the Carafa Chapel]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
