Peters udfrielse af fængslet 1816

"Peters udfrielse af fængslet" (Peter's Release from Prison), a drawing by Danish artist C.G. Kratzenstein Stub, depicts a scene from the biblical story of Peter's imprisonment and release. The composition showcases a dramatic moment where an angel leads Peter out of his cell, while the guards are unaware. The artwork was created in 1816, just a few months before the artist's untimely death at the age of 33. This poignant work, now housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, exemplifies Stub's talent for capturing both the dramatic and the spiritual in his art. The meticulous linework and subtle shading create a sense of depth and realism within the drawing.
