The artwork titled “The Healing of Peter’s Mother-in-law (La guérison de la belle-mère de Pierre)” is a religious painting by the artist James Tissot. It is located in the Brooklyn Museum in New York City, NY, US.
The artwork depicts a scene from the New Testament where Jesus heals the mother-in-law of Peter. The composition is set in a modest, rustic environment with stone steps and walls forming the backdrop. Jesus, dressed in a white robe, is shown compassionately leaning forward to heal a woman who is kneeling and reaching out to him. A figure cloaked in a black and white garment stands nearby, observing the healing act. The setting and attire reflect the historical and cultural context of the biblical times, capturing a moment of miraculous healing with somber and reverent mood.
