The Denial of Peter

Frühe Holzschnitte, circa 1455/1465

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.
