"Der Heilige Nikolaus von Bari erweckt drei Knaben vom Tode" is a pen drawing by Pietro Antonio de' Pietri, an Italian artist active in the late 17th century. This artwork depicts the legendary Saint Nicholas of Bari, patron saint of children, performing a miracle by resurrecting three boys who were murdered and preserved in a pickle barrel. The drawing's delicate lines and expressive detail capture the dramatic moment of the resurrection, showcasing de' Pietri's talent for conveying both physical and spiritual energy. This drawing, housed in the Städel Museum, is a valuable example of Baroque-era religious art, offering a glimpse into the visual traditions and devotional practices of the time.
