Heilige Petrus c. 1520 - 1550

This is a small, detailed etching of St. Peter, by the Italian artist Antonio da Trento. The etching was made between 1520 and 1550, depicting the biblical figure, St. Peter, with his hands clasped together in prayer. The figure is presented as if he is walking toward a bright light emanating from above. Da Trento's work was often characterized by intricate details and a strong sense of realism, as seen in this etching of St. Peter. This small etching is a testament to Da Trento’s mastery of the printmaking medium and his ability to capture both the physical and spiritual aspects of the subject.
