St. Peter raising Tabitha at Joppa 1575

Philips Galle's "St. Peter raising Tabitha at Joppa" (1575), is an engraving that depicts the biblical story of Saint Peter resurrecting Tabitha, also known as Dorcas. The print is divided into four sections, portraying different moments of the story. One section shows St. Peter speaking to the people gathered around Tabitha's body, while another shows St. Peter raising her from the dead. The scene is set in a domestic space, emphasizing the miracle's effect on the community. Galle's work exemplifies the use of engraving to reproduce religious narratives and distribute them widely. This print, now housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, exemplifies the artistic style and religious themes popular in 16th-century Europe.
