Peter's Vision of the Unclean Animals

The apostle Peter stays in the house of Simon the tanner. While praying in his room, Peter receives a vision. In the sky, a large sheet appears, containing various animals of the world. This vision was symbolic, a sign from God that even non-Jews may receive Christ's message. In the background, the messengers of the Roman centurion Cornelius arrive at Peter's house. In the cellar, leather is being tanned. Below the image, a reference in Latin to the biblical text in Acts 10:11. This print is part of an album.
