The panel was originally located in the chapel of the same title in the Dominican church of Santa Maria la Nova in Monopoli - an Apulian town on the Adriatic coast, which was administered directly by the Republic of Venice between 1495 and 1530 - from which it was subsequently transferred to the church. of San Domenico, built on the same area starting from 1530. Contrary to what has been reported so far, the patronage of the chapel of San Pietro Martire, which we know is contiguous to that of San Girolamo and Santo Stefano (Single Diocesan Archive of Monopoli, Selva d'oro E. 495) did not belong to the Indelli family - which instead owned the chapel of San Domenico, from which comes the painting by Jacopo Palma the Younger depicting San Domenico with Santa Caterina d'Alessandria, Santa Marta and Santa Maria Maddalena, erroneously indicated as San Domenico Soriano (GLIANES, 1643, p. 48; n. Ed. 1994, p. 80; INDELLI Ms 1779, ch. XIV, 56, ed. 2000, p. 439), now in the Diocesan Museum of Monopoly - but with an unidentified family. In 1870, following the suppression of the convents, Bellini's painting passed into the local Town Hall and from here, in order to ensure its conservation, at the Provincial Museum of Bari, where it is already present around the end of the 1920s, and later in the Pinacoteca. In 1948 the painting was restored by the Central Institute of Restoration in Rome. On this occasion, given the presence of the drawings on the back, partly superimposed on the butterfly brackets that unite the two vertical axes of which the table is formed, it was decided not to reduce the embossing, which was however not very accentuated. Currently, there is a slight longitudinal crack at the junction of the axes and the protective paint is considerably oxidized. The monumental figure of St. Peter the martyr, with a bearded face slightly reclined to the right, stands out against a clear background represented by the laying surface and the parapet behind, both in breccia of Verona (clear allusion to the city of origin of the saint) of a very hot salmon color, and from the deep blue sky on which two registers of soft whitish cirrus seem to pass softly. A midday light, warm and natural, illuminates the scene, highlighting, in a very clever play of chromatic transitions, the rendering of the shadows (that of the figure of the saint projected on the laying surface and that of the black mantle on the white scapular of the Dominican). Particularly realistic is the rendering of the billhook and the dagger fixed in the head and chest of the saint, in which skilful highlights restore the shimmer of the metal, and the splendid reddish leather binding, decorated with relief candelabra and medallions, of the book shown with the right. .
