"St. Peter and St. John Healing the Cripple" is a woodcut by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, created in the early 16th century as part of his larger series of woodcuts known as the "Apostles" or the "Apostle Series." This particular work depicts a scene from the New Testament of the Bible, specifically from the Acts of the Apostles (3:1-10), where the apostles Peter and John heal a man lame from birth at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple in Jerusalem.

The woodcut is notable for its intricate detail and the skillful use of the medium to convey depth, emotion, and narrative. Dürer's mastery of woodcut techniques is evident in the fine lines and varying textures that bring the scene to life. The composition is carefully constructed to guide the viewer's eye to the central action, where the apostles' miraculous healing takes place. The expressions and gestures of the figures are rendered with a naturalism that was characteristic of Dürer's work and the Northern Renaissance.

As a leading figure of the Renaissance in Northern Europe, Dürer was known for his contributions to printmaking, which helped disseminate his works and the Renaissance style more broadly. "St. Peter and St. John Healing the Cripple" exemplifies Dürer's ability to translate complex biblical narratives into accessible and compelling imagery, making it a significant piece within his oeuvre and an important work in the history of religious art.

The woodcut is part of a tradition of depicting the acts of the apostles in art, and it reflects the religious and cultural context of the time, including the emphasis on the miraculous and the divine authority of the apostles. It also serves as an example of the Reformation's impact on art, as Dürer's works were increasingly used to promote Protestant ideas.

Today, "St. Peter and St. John Healing the Cripple" is held in various collections and is studied for its artistic merit, its role in the history of printmaking, and its representation of religious themes during the Renaissance. It continues to be appreciated for its technical excellence and its enduring narrative power.
