EDITORS COMMENTS
Lambert Suavius's engraving, "Apostles Peter and John Healing the Paralytic," dates back to the 16th century and is a captivating representation of a biblical story from the New Testament. The image showcases Saint Peter and Saint John, two of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ, as they perform a miraculous healing on a paralytic man. The scene takes place in a grand architectural setting, with intricate columns and arches framing the action. The paralytic man, depicted as a figure in a state of despair, is carried by a group of people, including two women, to the apostles for healing. Saint Peter and Saint John, dressed in their traditional robes and holding their symbols of authority, extend their hands towards the man, invoking the power of God to cure him. The moment of transformation is captured in the image, with the man's body contorted in a state of relief and gratitude, as he is raised from his seated position on a stretcher. The black and white etching on laid paper, created by the Dutch artist Lambert Suavius, is a testament to the artistic and cultural heritage of the Low Countries during the Renaissance period. The monochrome composition, with its intricate details and expressive figures, invites the viewer to reflect on the themes of faith, healing, and the power of the saints in the context of Christian tradition. This masterpiece is now part of the collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., and continues to inspire and captivate audiences from around the world.
