About this work

Of all the great 16th-century Flemish engravers, Lambert Suavius was the most refined. Even in this monumental engraving, the largest he ever made, he incised the faces, hair, beards, drapery, and architecture in the copper plate with utmost precision. It depicts Peter enjoining a crippled beggar whom he has just healed to stand up.
