The Deliverance of Saint Peter c. 1645 - 1647

David Teniers the Younger's "The Deliverance of Saint Peter" (c. 1645 - 1647) depicts a scene of everyday life in a prison setting, with the focus on a group of men playing a game. While the men seem oblivious, the viewer is privy to the miraculous escape of Saint Peter, taking place in the background through a doorway. The scene is a subtle commentary on the contrast between earthly pursuits and divine intervention. This painting, typical of Teniers' genre paintings, combines detailed realism with religious symbolism.
