This is an engraving titled, *Apostle Peter's Vision of the Unclean Animals*, made by an anonymous artist. The work depicts a biblical story, likely produced during a period of religious and social transformation. Here, Peter is kneeling, his hands raised towards the divine light, while a collection of animals surrounds him. This vision challenges the strict dietary laws of the time, suggesting a move towards inclusivity. The animals, traditionally considered 'unclean', are presented as part of God's creation, signaling a shift in religious understanding. This image invites us to consider how religious texts and teachings can be reinterpreted to challenge existing norms and promote a more inclusive worldview. The personal experience of the Apostle and the emotional impact of his vision are central to this work, highlighting the power of individual revelation in shaping collective beliefs.
