An Angel Frees Peter from the Dungeon — Andrei Ryabushkin

Andrei Ryabushkin’s An Angel Frees Peter from the Dungeon, dated 1888, portrays the miraculous deliverance of Saint Peter as recounted in the Acts of the Apostles. The angelic intervention transforms the prison scene into a powerful meditation on divine protection, faith, and liberation, creating a reverent devotional atmosphere. Ryabushkin’s late nineteenth-century Russian artistry lends the biblical narrative a compelling sense of spiritual drama while preserving its sacred focus. This museum-inspired reproduction honours the work’s vision of heavenly aid and steadfast hope. Printed as a premium matte fine-art print on 200 gsm paper, it brings an evocative image of Saint Peter and his angelic rescuer into spaces dedicated to prayer, reflection, and Christian art.
