Liberation of Peter (1665-1667) by Bartolomé Esteban Murillo

It was one of eight works painted by the artist for the Hermandad de la Caridad (Brothers of Charity) in Seville. Only four of these eight are still in Spain, namely The Miracle of the Loaves and Fishes, Moses at the Rock of Horeb, Saint Elizabeth of Hungary and Saint John of God. The Hermitage work and the remaining three (Abraham Welcoming Three Angels - National Gallery of Canada; Christ Healing the Paralytic at the Pool of Bethesda, National Gallery, London; The Return of the Prodigal Son - National Gallery of Art, Washington) were all looted by Marshal Soult in 1810.[2]
