EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print showcases Raphael Sanzio's masterpiece, "The Liberation of Saint Peter," painted in 1514 as part of the fresco series in the Room of Heliodorus in the Apostolic Palace of the Vatican City. Raphael, an Italian painter and architect of the High Renaissance, brilliantly captured the dramatic moment when the apostle Saint Peter is miraculously freed from his chains during the New Testament account of his imprisonment by Herod Agrippa. In this scene, Saint Peter, peacefully asleep despite his chained predicament, is attended by an angel who reaches down to release him. The angel's radiant light illuminates the dark, dimly lit jail cell, emphasizing the divine intervention. The other apostles, alerted by the miracle, are shown in various states of awe and surprise, with one reaching out to touch the saint. Raphael's exceptional use of perspective, proportion, and color creates a sense of depth and realism that was characteristic of the High Renaissance. This print is a testament to the enduring influence of Raphael's art in the modern age, offering a glimpse into the rich history and cultural significance of the Italian Renaissance.
