From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Saints Peter and Paul Seated in a Landscape is a 1527 ink by Lucas van Leyden, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
In this painting, two men sit in a landscape, engaged in conversation. The man on the left wears a long robe and holds a key, while the man on the right wears a similar robe and holds a book. The background features trees and a body of water, with a rocky outcropping in the foreground. The artist's use of cross-hatching creates a sense of depth and texture, particularly in the folds of the men's robes. The overall mood of the painting is one of contemplation and discussion.
