Saints Peter and John Healing the Lame Man

This is the latest of Poussin's three great cityscapes of the mid-1650s, each of which portrays a narrative from the New Testament against a background of massive classical architecture. The two other paintings, Christ and the Woman Taken in Adultery of 1653, and The Death of Sapphira of about 1654, are in the Louvre, Paris. All three are strongly influenced by the art of Raphael, in particular his tapestry cartoons of the Acts of the Apostles made for the Sistine Chapel, seven of which survive in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.

The subject of Saints Peter and John Healing the Lame Man, the first miracle performed by the Apostles after the death of Christ, is taken from Acts 3:1–10. At the gate of the Temple of Jerusalem a lame man begging for alms is miraculously cured by Peter, who asks him to rise up and walk, and John, who touches his arm and points to heaven—the true source of the miracle. The stairs, at the top of which this encounter is staged, are animated with carefully balanced figure groups, not unlike Raphael's 1508 fresco of the School of Athens (Vatican Museums). Some of the witnesses express amazement, while others simply go about their business. The young man on the second step gazing toward the right has been borrowed from Raphael's fresco. The facial type of the lame man and, to a great extent, his pose are closely modeled on the figure in Raphael's cartoon of this subject, and the hands of Saint Peter and the lame man recall those of Adam and God the Father in Michelangelo's famous Creation of Adam in the Sistine Chapel.

This work is generally identified with the painting recorded by two of Poussin's early biographers as made for Monsieur Mercier, treasurer at Lyons, in 1655 (Félibien 1685 and Loménie de Brienne 1695). According to Loménie, it passed from Mercier to a Monsieur de Bordeaux, a financial official, and then to his secretary. All of this must have taken place within a brief time frame, as the picture clearly belonged to the painter Jacques Stella by 1657, the year of his death. It was one of five paintings by Poussin in his collection that are mentioned in a document of 1658 as passing to his five nieces and nephews. The picture was engraved in 1679 by one of the nieces, Claudine Bouzonnet Stella (ill. in Kurita 1999, no. 24-1).

A replica with some variations was erroneously identified as Poussin's primary version in the nineteenth century and linked with the picture made for Mercier. Owned by Lord Radstock until his death in 1825, it was offered for sale at Christie's, London (May 12, 1826, no. 41, 46 x 68 1/2 in.), appeared in numerous sales in London in the first half of the twentieth century, and then temporarily passed out of sight. Judging from an early photograph it must be the painting that in 1971 was in the Warschaw collection, Los Angeles, and reappeared at Sotheby's, London, October 30, 2008, as no. 338. Its composition is slightly cut at the top and bottom and extended at the right. This seems likely to have been the replica made by Antoine Bouzonnet Stella and listed in the inventory of his sister Claudine. Her engraving, however, directly follows the composition of Poussin's original.

A variation in an upright format is in the church of Saint Patrice, Rouen. Blunt (1966) provides an extensive list of copies and engravings, but does not mention Gericault's drawing after an engraving (with the composition reversed) preserved in a sketchbook in the Louvre.

A. Andresen. Nicolaus Poussin: Verzeichniss der nach seinen Gemälden gefertigten gleichzeitigen und späteren Kupferstiche.

G. F. Waagen. Die vornehmsten Kunstdenkmäler in Wien. part 1, Vienna, 1866, p. 262, notes that the hand of the lame man is reminiscent of this motif in Raphael's tapestry cartoon of the same subject [Victoria and Albert Museum, London; tapestry in Vatican Museums].

Emile Magne. Nicolas Poussin, premier peintre du roi, 1594–1665. Brussels, 1914, p. 215, nos. 271–72, confuses the provenance of this and the Wilkins version and wrongly connects the Mercier picture with one in the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna [with a different composition and now attributed to Bertholet Flémalle]; lists three engravings of the composition not mentioned by Andresen.

B[ryson]. B[urroughs]. "Two Pictures by Poussin."

Oskar Bätschmann. Nicolas Poussin: Dialectics of Painting. London, 1990, pp. 130–32, ill.

Janis Callen Bell in The Dictionary of Art. Ed. Jane Turner. Vol. 24, New York, 1996, pp. 493–94, pl. 7 (color), suggests that Poussin was inspired by [Matteo] Zaccolini's treatises to develop a systematic approach to non-linear perspective "incorporating color, acuity and chiaroscurro gradients"; claims that this approach became the model for 17th-century French painting.
