The Martyrdom of the Apostles: St. Peter

Jacques Callot

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white illustration of a very busy scene. A man dressed as Jesus is floating on a cloud with a halo-like sun behind him. A line extends from his right hand to a man on a hill who is attached to a large pulley system. The man on the hill is wearing a long robe. There are several people on the hill and many more below near the bottom of the image. A horse and rider are on the hill. Many of the people are holding spears. To the right is a tall building with steps at the top. The sky is cloudy. Text is written in cursive at the bottom.
