About the piece
Painted in 1651 by the Flemish master Pieter Neefs the Elder, this work captures the dramatic release of Saint Peter within a vast, vaulted interior. Neefs was renowned for his architectural precision, using the rhythmic patterns of the checkered floor and the complex geometry of the stone arches to create a profound sense of depth and atmospheric scale.
