"Leven van de heilige Petrus" (Life of Saint Peter) is a 1604 engraving by an anonymous artist, depicting a central image of Saint Peter holding keys with a series of scenes from his life surrounding him. These scenes are arranged in a grid, providing a visual narrative of the saint's key moments. This engraving, now located in the Rijksmuseum, is a prime example of the narrative power of printmaking in early modern Europe.
