"The Liberation of St. Peter" is a significant oil painting by the Dutch artist Hendrick Ter Brugghen, who was a leading figure in the Utrecht school of Caravaggisti during the early 17th century. This work, created in 1624, exemplifies the Caravaggesque style, characterized by dramatic chiaroscuro and a focus on realism and emotional intensity. The painting depicts the biblical scene from the Acts of the Apostles (12:6-7) where an angel appears to Saint Peter to free him from his chains and lead him out of prison.

Ter Brugghen's rendition of this miraculous event is notable for its masterful use of light to convey the divine intervention and the stark contrast between the tranquility of the sleeping guards and the quiet astonishment of St. Peter. The artist's attention to detail and his ability to capture the textures of metal, fabric, and flesh showcase his skill and contribute to the painting's powerful narrative impact.

The work is a prime example of the Northern European adaptation of Caravaggio's tenebrism and naturalism, which had a profound influence on the development of Dutch Golden Age painting. "The Liberation of St. Peter" not only reflects Ter Brugghen's artistic prowess but also offers insight into the religious and cultural milieu of the period. The painting is held in high esteem for its historical significance and its contribution to the understanding of Caravaggesque influence outside of Italy.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is part of the collection at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic merit and historical importance.
