This engraving by Theodoor Galle, titled "Petrus verschijnt aan Ignatius" (Peter Appears to Ignatius), depicts a scene from the life of Saint Ignatius of Loyola. The artwork was created in 1610, and it is now housed at the Rijksmuseum. The engraving features three distinct sections: the central panel shows Saint Ignatius lying in bed, while Saint Peter appears above him in a cloud. The side panels depict two further scenes, offering additional context and visual interest. The detail and use of light and shadow characteristic of Galle's style, contribute to the dramatic and evocative nature of this print, which is a striking example of the artistic tradition of religious imagery.
