Petro Aokolewa kutoka Gerezani

Gustave Doré · 1866 (designs for La Sainte Bible, Tours); this printing 1873–1874
Maktaba ya Taifa ya Poland, Warsaw

H. Pisan, aliyechonga vipande vingi vyenye giza zaidi vya Biblia ya Doré ya mwaka 1866, alitia sahihi kwenye hiki kwa herufi kubwa chini upande wa kulia.

Ni usiku. Mwezi unapenya mawingu yaliyochanika, na mwanga wake unaanguka juu ya ngazi za gereza. Malaika kijana mwenye mabawa marefu anamwongoza Petro kushuka; Petro, amejifunika joho lake, anainama mbele na kutazama nyuma. Kuwazunguka walinzi wamelala wakiwa na kofia za chuma na deraya, mmoja bado ameshika mkuki wake, mwingine amejinyoosha ardhini.

Kutoka maandiko

  • “Malaika wa Bwana ghafla akamtokea na nuru ikang'aa ndani” (Matendo ya Mitume 12:7)
  • “Vaa vazi lako na unifuate.” (Matendo ya Mitume 12:8)
  • Walipita “lindo la kwanza na la pili” (Matendo ya Mitume 12:10)

Ubunifu wa msanii

  • Mbalamwezi na anga wazi, ilhali maandiko yanazungumzia nuru iliyong’aa ndani ya chumba cha gereza
  • Kofia za chuma na deraya za Kirumi kwa walinzi waliolala
  • Petro peku, ingawa malaika alimwambia avae viatu vyake
