Saint Peter Delivered from Prison by an Angel

Philip Galle after Jan van der Straet

National Gallery of Art

This image shows an angel guiding a man through a dimly lit prison corridor with guards nearby. The corridor features an arched ceiling with a hanging lamp. The foreground shows guards with their heads down, and in the background, other guards appear to be indifferent or unaware. A barred window on the right reveals figures inside a cell. The artwork uses lines and shading to show depth and texture.
