Delivery of the keys to St. Peter is a 1822 oil by Józef Brodowski the Elder, held at National Museum in Warsaw.
This painting shows a group of people gathered around a man in a red robe. He's holding a staff and looking up at a sky filled with angels and clouds. The scene is set against a backdrop of hills and a distant building. The painting is done in oil paint, and the colors are muted, with lots of browns and tans. The artist has used a technique called chiaroscuro to create a sense of depth and contrast in the scene.
