Bevrijding van Petrus uit de gevangenis 1712 - 1786

"Bevrijding van Petrus uit de gevangenis" (The Liberation of Peter from Prison) is an etching by Giovanni Marco Pitteri, dated between 1712 and 1786. The scene depicts the biblical story of Peter's miraculous release from prison by an angel, as described in the Acts of the Apostles. Peter is shown in chains, while the angel, with wings outspread, touches his shoulder, guiding him towards freedom. This artwork, likely a devotional piece, showcases the artist's detailed rendering of figures and the dramatic narrative of the biblical event.
