"L'Evangile de l'Enfance de notre Seigneur Jesus-Christ selon Saint Pierre" (The Gospel of the Childhood of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Saint Peter) is an illustrated work by Swiss Symbolist painter Carlos Schwabe (1866–1926). Created in 1889, this piece is part of Schwabe's body of work that reflects his interest in religious and mystical themes, which were prevalent in the Symbolist movement of the late 19th century.

The illustration for "L'Evangile de l'Enfance" is a testament to Schwabe's skill in blending spiritual and symbolic elements with a distinctive visual style. His work often features ethereal figures, otherworldly landscapes, and a sense of the divine or the transcendent.

Schwabe's work during this period was marked by a fascination with the spiritual and the unseen, and his illustrations often served as visual interpretations of literary or religious texts. "L'Evangile de l'Enfance" would have been part of this artistic exploration, seeking to provide a visual counterpart to the narrative of Christ's early life as described in apocryphal texts, which were a source of inspiration for artists and writers of the Symbolist movement.

His illustrations for "L'Evangile de l'Enfance" would have contributed to the Symbolist movement's goal of expressing the ineffable and providing a glimpse into the profound mysteries of life and faith.
