"Saint Peter Released from Prison" is a notable painting by the Dutch artist Jan Lievens, who was a contemporary of Rembrandt and often worked in close association with him during the early part of his career. The painting depicts the biblical episode from the Acts of the Apostles (Chapter 12: 6-10) in which Saint Peter is miraculously freed from his chains and prison cell by an angel sent by God. This subject was popular in Christian art as it symbolized divine intervention and the power of faith.

Created in the 17th century, Lievens' interpretation of this scene is a testament to the Baroque style, characterized by dramatic use of light and shadow, a sense of movement, and emotional intensity. The painting showcases Lievens' skill in handling chiaroscuro to enhance the narrative's supernatural elements and to focus the viewer's attention on the central figures of Peter and the angel.

Jan Lievens was born in Leiden in 1607 and was known for his portraits, genre scenes, and religious and allegorical paintings. His work on "Saint Peter Released from Prison" reflects the influence of his time in the studio of Pieter Lastman in Amsterdam, where he and Rembrandt studied. Lievens' ability to convey texture, emotion, and narrative depth in his paintings earned him recognition in his own time and continues to be appreciated by art historians and enthusiasts today.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical context, as it exemplifies the Northern European Baroque period and the exchange of stylistic and thematic influences among artists of that era. "Saint Peter Released from Prison" remains an important work in the oeuvre of Jan Lievens and contributes to the understanding of the development of Dutch Golden Age painting.
