'''''St Peter Martyr with St Nicholas and St Benedict''''' is an oil-on-canvas painting by the Italian [[Renaissance]] painter [[Cima da Conegliano]], created ''c.'' 1505–1506, now in the [[Pinacoteca di Brera]] in Milan. It references the [[sacra conversazione]] pieces by [[Giovanni Bellini]], whilst the landscape shows the artist as an early adopter of the new style of [[Giorgione]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.brera.beniculturali.it/Page/t04/view_html?idp=143|title=Room VIII - Pinacoteca di Brera}}</ref>
The work was commissioned by the spice merchant Benedetto Carlone for the chapel dedicated to [[Peter of Verona|St Peter Martyr]] in Corpus Domini, a church in [[Venice]], where he planned to be buried. It shows the saint dressed in [[Dominican Order|Dominican]] habit. The church was suppressed under the Napoleonic occupation of Italy and the painting arrived in Brera in 1811.<ref>{{in lang|it}} AA.VV., ''Brera, guida alla pinacoteca'', Electa, Milano 2004. {{ISBN|978-88-370-2835-0}}</ref>
