From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Saint Paul Heals the Lame Man at Lystra is a 1574 ink by Philip Galle, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image depicts a scene from the Bible, with a man standing in the center, surrounded by a crowd of people. He is wearing a long robe and has his right arm raised, pointing upwards. The crowd is gathered around him, with some people looking up at him in awe. In the background, there are buildings and a large stone column. The atmosphere is one of excitement and wonder, as if something miraculous is happening. The artist's use of engraving and cross-hatching techniques creates a sense of depth and texture in the image. The level of detail is impressive, with intricate lines and shading that bring the scene to life.
