This print shows Christ giving Peter the keys to his kingdom of Heaven. The scene combines text from two books of the bible, Matthew and John. This combination is interesting because it shows how the artist, Scultori, interpreted the different biblical accounts. The print is similar to Raphael's work, so to learn more about this style, look up the technique: sfumato.
