"Saint Peter Healing the Sick with His Shadow" is a notable artwork by the German painter Christian Wilhelm Ernst Dietrich (1712–1774), also known as Dietricy. Created in the 18th century, this painting depicts a biblical scene from the Acts of the Apostles (5:15) in which the apostle Peter is shown performing miracles by healing the sick with his shadow. As a prominent figure in the Baroque and Rococo periods, Dietrich was known for his eclectic style, often drawing inspiration from the works of Dutch, French, and Italian masters.

The painting is remarkable for its dramatic use of light and shadow, a technique that emphasizes the divine nature of the miracle being performed. The composition centers on the figure of Saint Peter, whose outstretched hand casts a shadow over the afflicted, who are brought to him in the hope of being healed. The expressions of faith and desperation on the faces of the onlookers and the sick are captured with poignant realism, a testament to Dietrich's skill in portraying human emotion.

Dietrich's work reflects the religious and artistic sensibilities of his time, where biblical themes were often used to explore human experience and the divine. "Saint Peter Healing the Sick with His Shadow" is a prime example of Dietrich's ability to fuse religious narrative with artistic innovation, making it a significant piece in the study of 18th-century European art.

The painting is part of a larger body of Dietrich's work that showcases his versatility and adaptability to various artistic influences while maintaining his unique interpretation. Today, the artwork is appreciated not only for its religious significance but also for its contribution to the development of painting techniques during the period. It remains an important piece for scholars interested in the intersection of art, religion, and culture during the Baroque and Rococo eras.
