EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing detail from Raphael's masterpiece, "St Peter Escapes with the Angel, from The Liberation of Saint Peter in the Stanza d Eliodoro". The fresco, created between 1512-14 and housed in the Vatican Museums and Galleries, Vatican City, showcases the extraordinary talent of Raffaello Sanzio of Urbino. In this particular scene, St. Peter is depicted escaping from prison with the assistance of an angel. Bathed in radiant light that emanates from above, their figures are illuminated against a dark background. The steps leading to freedom are visible behind them as they make their daring escape. The tension is palpable as a sleeping guard remains unaware of their departure. Clutched tightly in St. Peter's hand is a key symbolizing his liberation from captivity. A halo surrounds both figures' heads, signifying their divine intervention and spiritual significance. Raphael's meticulous brushwork brings this momentous event to life on canvas. Every intricate detail contributes to the overall narrative portrayed within this painting. Bridgeman Images has masterfully reproduced this iconic artwork into a stunning print that allows art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate its beauty and historical importance. This piece serves as a testament to Raphael's genius and continues to inspire awe centuries after its creation.
