"Petrus met sleutel" (Peter with Key) is a 1519 woodcut by German Renaissance artist Hans Baldung. The artwork depicts Saint Peter, a prominent figure in early Christianity, holding a large key, a symbol of his role as the gatekeeper of Heaven. This dramatic scene showcases Baldung's distinctive style, characterized by elongated figures and powerful use of light and shadow. The key is central to the composition and emphasizes Peter's authority and importance. The artist's signature, "H.B.", is visible in the lower left corner.
