Painting Description
"Saint Peter and Saint John Healing the Cripple at the Gate of the Temple" is a renowned biblical-themed artwork by the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn, created in 1659. This etching and drypoint on paper depicts a scene from the Acts of the Apostles (Acts 3:1-10) in the New Testament, where the apostles Peter and John heal a man lame from birth at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple in Jerusalem. The work is noted for its dramatic use of light and shadow, a technique known as chiaroscuro, which Rembrandt mastered and frequently employed to enhance the narrative and emotional depth of his scenes.
In the etching, Rembrandt captures the moment of the miracle with a keen eye for human emotion and divine intervention. The apostles are shown as compassionate and authoritative figures, while the cripple is depicted with a sense of hope and astonishment as he receives the miraculous healing. The surrounding crowd is portrayed with a variety of reactions, from skepticism to awe, reflecting the complex human response to witnessing a supernatural event.
The composition is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail and the rich textural effects that Rembrandt achieved through his expert handling of the etching needle. The work is a testament to his ability to convey a powerful biblical story through the medium of printmaking, making it accessible to a wider audience beyond those who could afford his paintings.
"Saint Peter and Saint John Healing the Cripple at the Gate of the Temple" is held in high esteem among Rembrandt's religious prints and is considered an important example of his late work in the genre. It is housed in several prominent collections, including the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, and continues to be studied for its artistic and theological significance.
