| The Deliverance of Saint Peter shows, in three episodes, how Saint Peter was liberated from prison by an angel. This fresco shows a three part narrative cleverly designed around the window .The narrative shows how St Peter had come to the heart of the Roman Empire to preach the word of Christ and was thrown into prison. The right side depicts an Angel putting the guards to sleep and then in the centre liberating the apostle and leading him down past the sleeping guards. On the left the guards are woken to find the apostle gone. The message to this narrative is “don’t restrain those who preach the word of God because they will always be liberated” or “those who talk the word of God cannot be imprisoned”. | |||

The Deliverance of Saint Peter is a fresco painting by the Italian High 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 how Saint Peter was liberated from Herod's prison by an angel, as described in Acts 12. It is technically an overdoor, probably the most majestic ever painted.
The fresco shows three scenes. In the centre the angel wakes Peter, and on the right guides him past the sleeping guards. On the left side one guard has apparently noticed the light generated by the angel and wakes a comrade, pointing up to the illumined cell. This adds drama, though what follows from it is unclear.
