Peter and John Healing the Cripple at the Gate of the Temple is a 1659 ink by Rembrandt, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a group of people around a large stone pillar in a temple courtyard. One man is kneeling, holding his leg while another stands over him, gesturing toward his foot. In the background, a crowd watches from steps, and a few figures stand near a broken wall. The scene feels busy but focused on the healing moment. The artist used fine lines to show texture—clothes, skin, and stone all look real. The dark, shadowy areas make the figures stand out sharply. Next, look up etching, drypoint, burin to see how Rembrandt made this print.
Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (15 July 1606 – 4 October 1669), known mononymously as Rembrandt, was a Dutch Golden Age painter, printmaker, and draughtsman.
