About the piece

This 17th-century work by Dutch artist Jacob Toorenvliet captures a poignant moment of Saint Peter healing the infirm. The composition features strong chiaroscuro, highlighting the dynamic figures and the rich textures of their classical drapery against a backdrop of ancient architecture.
