Apostolul Petru is a 1848 unspecified by Gheorghe Lemeni, a Byzantine icon painting work, held at Moldova National Museum Complex.
This painting depicts a man with a long white beard, wearing a brown robe over a dark blue garment. He has his hands clasped together in front of him, and his gaze is directed upwards. The background of the painting is dark, which helps to focus attention on the figure. The man's attire and the style of the painting suggest that it is a religious work, possibly from the Romanticism movement. The use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark, adds depth and emotion to the scene.
