About this work

The scene is based on Acts 14:8-11. In Lystra, the apostle Paul is surrounded by people asking for help or healing. With a gesture, Paul heals the feet of the sitting man. The people of Lystra think Barnabas and Paul must be gods. The priest of a nearby temple brings two decorated oxen to the city gate to sacrifice them. In the background, on the left, a column of the temple of Jupiter is visible. Print from a series of 10 prints with scenes from the life of the apostle Paul.
