"St. Peter and St. John at the Gate of the Temple" (b., M., Holl. 18) is an exquisite engraving created by the renowned German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer. This work is part of Dürer's extensive oeuvre of prints, which have been celebrated for their technical precision, intricate detail, and profound impact on the development of printmaking as an art form. Dürer, born in 1471 in Nuremberg, is often regarded as one of the greatest artists of the Northern Renaissance, and his engravings, in particular, have been highly influential.

The engraving depicts a biblical scene from the Acts of the Apostles, Chapter 3, where St. Peter and St. John encounter a lame man at the gate of the temple in Jerusalem. According to the scripture, the man, who had been lame from birth, was carried to the temple gate called Beautiful every day to beg for alms. When he asked Peter and John for money, Peter famously responded, "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 then took the man by the right hand and helped him up, and immediately the man's feet and ankles became strong, and he began to walk and leap, praising God.

Dürer's engraving captures the moment of this miraculous healing with remarkable clarity and emotional depth. The composition is meticulously detailed, showcasing Dürer's masterful use of line to create texture, depth, and expression. The figures of Peter and John are rendered with a sense of solemnity and compassion, while the lame man's astonishment and gratitude are palpable. The architectural elements of the temple gate are also intricately depicted, providing a rich historical and contextual backdrop to the scene.

This engraving not only exemplifies Dürer's technical prowess but also reflects his deep engagement with religious themes and his ability to convey complex narratives through the medium of print. "St. Peter and St. John at the Gate of the Temple" remains a significant work in the history of art, illustrating the power of printmaking to disseminate religious and cultural ideas during the Renaissance.
