"Sts Peter and John healing the cripple at the temple gate" is a 16th-century woodcut by German artist Hans Schäufelein. It depicts the biblical scene where Saints Peter and John heal a crippled man at the temple gate. The detailed, linear style of the woodcut, characteristic of Northern Renaissance art, captures the dramatic moment and the solemnity of the event. The artwork, now part of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst collection, showcases Schäufelein’s mastery in depicting religious scenes and his meticulous attention to detail. This small-scale woodcut, measuring 211 mm x 149 mm, is a powerful example of the artist's talent and the artistic trends of his time.
