Peter prædiker i Jerusalem 1571

This pen-and-ink drawing, created by Maarten van Heemskerck in 1571, depicts the biblical story of Peter preaching in Jerusalem. The detailed composition shows Peter standing on a platform, addressing a crowd of people, while another figure lies prone at his feet. The drawing, housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark, is a testament to Heemskerck's skill in capturing the drama and emotion of religious narratives through his masterful use of line. This work, executed during the late Renaissance, reflects the period's fascination with classical and biblical themes.
