"St. Peter and St. John at the Gate of the Temple" is a woodcut by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, created as part of his series illustrating the "Life of the Virgin" and the "Small Passion." This particular woodcut, however, is not directly related to the life of the Virgin Mary but instead depicts a scene from the Acts of the Apostles (Acts 3:1-10) in the New Testament. The work showcases Dürer's skill in conveying narrative and his mastery of the woodcut medium.

In the scene, the apostles Peter and John are shown at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple in Jerusalem, where they encounter a man lame from birth. The man asks for alms, but instead, Peter offers him something far greater. With the words "Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk," Peter heals the man, who then stands and walks, praising God. This miracle is depicted by Dürer with a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of human emotion.

Dürer's composition is notable for its dynamic figures and the use of perspective, which draws the viewer's eye to the central action of the healing. The architectural elements and the crowd of onlookers are rendered with precision, adding to the sense of depth and realism in the woodcut. The work is a testament to Dürer's religious convictions and his ability to infuse his art with spiritual significance.

"St. Peter and St. John at the Gate of the Temple" is part of a rich tradition of biblical illustration and reflects the Northern Renaissance's emphasis on detailed graphic representation. Dürer's woodcuts, including this one, were widely disseminated and had a significant impact on the visual culture of his time. They continue to be studied and admired for their technical excellence and their evocative portrayal of biblical stories.
