"Ein Lahmer wird in einer Kirche beim Anblick des Altares geheilt" (A Lame Man is Healed in a Church at the Sight of the Altar) is a drawing by the Italian Mannerist painter Cristofano Allori, known for his religious and portrait works. This drawing, created in the early 17th century, depicts a scene of divine healing in a church, emphasizing the power of faith and the presence of the divine. The composition is characterized by dynamic figures, with the central figure of the lame man reaching towards the altar with fervent belief, while the priest extends a hand towards him in a gesture of blessing. This drawing, housed in the Städel Museum, showcases Allori's masterful use of line and subtle shading to evoke both the drama of the moment and the solemnity of the setting.
