About the piece
Painted in 1631, this masterful work by Rembrandt van Rijn depicts Saint Peter in a moment of profound contemplation. Utilizing intense chiaroscuro, the artist focuses the viewer's attention on Peter’s weathered face and folded hands, while the keys to heaven lie cast aside on the straw floor in the darkness.
