"Tafreelen uit het leven der Apostelen. - Verdere uitbreiding van het Christendom" (Scenes from the Life of the Apostles - Further Expansion of Christianity) is a print from 1850 by Jan Schuitemaker. The work depicts six scenes from the life of the Apostle Peter, including his miraculous escape from prison, the conversion of the Roman Centurion Cornelius, and the martyrdom of Saint Stephen. This print was likely created for a children’s magazine, “Prenten-Magazin voor de Jeugd,” to help educate younger audiences about biblical stories. The artist uses a simple, illustrative style typical of woodcuts. The print's small size and multiple scenes suggest it was intended to be reproduced and distributed widely.
