The Apostle Peter
Book Title: Hortulus animae = Lustgarten der Seelen : Mit schönen lieblichen Figuren
Author: Luther, Martin, 1483-1546
Image Title: The Apostle Peter
Description: From the Hortulus animae or Lustgarten der Seelen and based on the sketches of Lucas Cranach, the Elder (1472-1553), this portrayal of the apostle shows him in typical fashion as an older, balding man with the attributes of key (cf. Matthew 16:19) and book. Here his halo includes the Latin form of his name and, at long last, he walks on water (cf. Matthew 14:28-30). This woodcut was created by Lukas Cranach the Elder.
