The Denial of Peter

Frühe Holzschnitte, kb. 1455/1465

This is a painting of a group of figures interacting in a medieval scene. The image is an illuminated manuscript that features several figures depicted with halos. There are distinct color blocks throughout, like deep red robes and green accents. The background suggests architectural elements, possibly an interior space or a cityscape, with arches and a decorated wall or window. The figures are depicted with elongated forms and simple lines, typical of the medieval style.
