EDITORS COMMENTS
St. Peter Delivered from Prison," an exquisite 17th-century print depicting a pivotal moment from the New Testament book of Acts (12:1-19). In this powerful image, St. Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, is shown being miraculously released from prison by an angel. The scene is filled with a sense of anticipation and awe, as St. Peter, still shackled, sleeps peacefully on his bed, oblivious to the divine intervention about to take place. The print, created in the late 1600s, is a testament to the artistic and religious sensibilities of the time. The use of chiaroscuro, or strong contrasts between light and dark, adds depth and drama to the image, while the intricate details of the prison cell and the guards on watch convey a sense of confinement and tension. The moment of release is captured in the next scene, with St. Peter, now awake and free, standing in amazement as the angel disappears, leaving behind only the chains that once bound him. The print beautifully illustrates the theme of freedom and divine intervention, as St. Peter is released from his earthly confines to continue spreading the word of God. This print is a valuable addition to any collection of religious art or biblical imagery, offering a glimpse into the artistic and spiritual sensibilities of the 17th century. It serves as a reminder of the enduring power of faith and the miraculous nature of the events described in the New Testament.
