"Peter and John healing the cripple at the gate of the Temple" is an etching by Rembrandt van Rijn from 1659. The artwork depicts the biblical story of Peter and John healing a cripple at the gate of the Temple. The composition is complex and uses light and shadow to create a sense of drama. The figures in the foreground are depicted in a realistic and expressive manner, while the background is more stylized and suggests the grandeur of the temple. This piece highlights Rembrandt's mastery of etching, a printmaking technique that allows for great detail and texture.
