The event took place at the Temple of Jerusalem at a gate known as the Beautiful Gate, which led to the entry into the Women's Court, where Israelite men and women could make offerings for the upkeep of the Temple. The man was begging for alms but Peter and John instead gave him the gift of being able to walk. \r\n\r\nThis image is in the same direction as the cartoon from which it is derived. The so-called Raphael Cartoons are seven full size designs for tapestries by the great Italian Renaissance artist Raphael (1483-1520). They illustrate passages from the Bible concerning the lives of Saint Peter and Saint Paul. None of them is smaller than ten feet high by thirteen feet wide. They belong to Her Majesty the Queen and have been on loan to this museum since 1865. The earliest print relating to the Raphael Cartoons dates from 1516, the year in which Raphael received final payment for the commission. It inaugurates an extraordinary case study in the history of printmaking, stretching over more than four hundred and fifty years and across a wide range of printmaking techniques.","physicalDescription":"Embossed paper tableau based on one of the Raphael Cartoons, consisting of a low relief image in beige of the cartoon, surrounded by a border, with stylized floral decoration in beige against yellow. \r\n\r\nThe subject is the Healing of the Lame Man by Saints Peter and John at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple of Jerusalem. \r\n\r\nScene showing a covered walkway of rows of spiral columns decorated with acanthus and putti climbing amongst foliage. A crowd waiting in the walkway watches as Peter and John help a lame man, sitting cross-legged in the centre foreground, to stand up. Another man with staff kneels nearby to the right. In the crowd to the left are two young children, one carrying two birds, a woman holding a baby and a woman carrying a basket of goods, probably as a temple offering.\n\nThis image is in the same direction as the cartoon from which it is derived.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Raphael","id":"A5306"},"association":{"text":"artist","id":"AAT25103"},"note":"from a cartoon by"}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[{"name":{"text":"Dobbs Bailey & Co.","id":"A35421"},"association":{"text":"maker","id":"x40240"},"note":""}],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"card","id":"x30344"},{"text":"laminate","id":"AAT14579"},{"text":"printing ink","id":"AAT187371"}],"techniques":[{"text":"embossing","id":"AAT53826"},{"text":"printing","id":"AAT53319"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"blind embossing and cameo embossing","categories":[{"text":"Prints","id":"THES48903"},{"text":"Religion","id":"THES48900"},{"text":"Christianity","id":"THES48978"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"PDP","id":"THES48595"},"images":[],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"LVLC (VA)","id":"THES49171"},"free":"","case":"GG","shelf":"195","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"print","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"London","id":"x28980"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1840s","earliest":"1840-01-01","latest":"1849-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[{"object":{"text":"ROYAL LOANS.4","id":"O1069359"},"association":"Source"}],"creditLine":"","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"27.3","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"sheet approx","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"37.4","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"sheet approx","note":""},{"dimension":"Height","value":"22","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"image with border","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"29.6","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"image with border","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[{"content":"EMBOSSED TABLEAUX","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":"Top centre, within border"},{"content":"PETER & JOHN HEALING THE LAME MAN / RAPHAEL","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":"Lower centre within border"},{"content":"No. 1802","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":"Lower right corner within embossed image"}],"objectHistory":"","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Embossed paper tableau from the Raphael Cartoons - Healing of the Lame Man.
