NICOLAS POUSSIN. Saints Peter and John Healing the Lame Man

Saints Peter and John Healing the Lame Man. Artist: Nicolas Poussin (French, Les Andelys 1594-1665 Rome). Dimensions: 49 1/2 x 65 in. (125.7 x 165.1 cm). Date: 1655. At the temple in Jerusalem where the old and infirm beg alms, Peter and John cure a cripple (Acts 3:1-10): "Then Peter said, Silver and gold I have none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk." The composition is indebted to Raphael, and the gestures of the central group are reminiscent of Michelangelo's <i>Creation of Adam</i> in the Sistine Chapel. The picture was painted for Monsieur Mercier of Lyons.
