"Die Befreiung Petri" (The Liberation of Peter) is a notable painting by the German artist Friedrich Nerly, who was active during the 19th century. Friedrich Nerly, born Christian Friedrich Nehrlich in 1807, was a prominent figure in the Düsseldorf school of painting, which was known for its detailed and realistic approach to landscape and historical scenes. Nerly's works often reflect a deep engagement with historical and religious themes, rendered with meticulous attention to detail and a dramatic use of light and shadow.

"Die Befreiung Petri" depicts the biblical story of the Apostle Peter's miraculous escape from prison, as recounted in the Acts of the Apostles (Chapter 12, verses 6-11). According to the narrative, Peter was imprisoned by King Herod Agrippa but was freed by an angel of the Lord. Nerly's interpretation of this event captures the moment of divine intervention with a powerful and evocative use of chiaroscuro, emphasizing the contrast between the dark, oppressive prison environment and the radiant, otherworldly light emanating from the angel.

The painting is celebrated for its dramatic composition and emotional intensity. Nerly's skillful use of light not only highlights the central figures of Peter and the angel but also creates a sense of depth and space, drawing the viewer into the scene. The expressions and body language of the characters convey a profound sense of awe and liberation, reflecting the spiritual significance of the event.

"Die Befreiung Petri" is an exemplary work of 19th-century religious art, showcasing Nerly's ability to blend historical accuracy with artistic imagination. The painting remains an important piece in the study of religious iconography and the broader context of German Romanticism. It is housed in a prominent art collection, where it continues to be admired for its technical mastery and emotional resonance.
