De verloochening van Petrus is a 1660 unspecified by Unknown, a Dutch Golden Age work, held at Rijksmuseum.
You see a dark courtyard at night. A fire glows in the corner. Peter, a rough-looking man in a brown cloak, stands near three people. One points at him. Behind them, soldiers lead Jesus away. The painting shows the moment Peter lies—he swears he doesn’t know Jesus. The firelight makes his face look nervous. The artist used strong light and shadow to make the scene feel tense. We don’t know who painted it, but the style looks like work from the Dutch Golden Age. To see more paintings like this, visit the Rijksmuseum.
