This print shows the moment Peter and John heal a lame man at the Beautiful Gate in Jerusalem. The man could only beg for coins before—but now he stands and walks. The scene mixes real place with sacred story. The artist used a cartoon by Raphael to make this print. The cartoon was one of seven designs for tapestries about Peter and Paul. The print flips the original image. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
