Petrus verloochent Christus, voorgesteld in de hal van het gerechtsgebouw 1810 - 1876

"Petrus verloochent Christus, voorgesteld in de hal van het gerechtsgebouw" (Peter Denies Christ, Depicted in the Hall of the Courthouse), a pen and ink drawing by Joseph von Führich, depicts a scene from the New Testament. The drawing, created between 1810 and 1876, shows the moment when Peter denies knowing Jesus, as soldiers lead Christ out of the courthouse. Führich, known for his detailed and expressive style, captures the drama and tension of the moment. The drawing is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The work is significant for its historical accuracy and emotional impact, showing the human side of a biblical event. This piece, like many of Führich’s works, provides a visual representation of the intersection of faith and human drama.
