Ein erhaben stehender, mehrere kniende, sitzende, sich aufrichtende Gestalten: Ähnliche Kompositionen von Salvator Rosa sind auch aus weiteren Werken des Künstlers bekannt. So ist etwa bei der Fototeca Zeri unter Nummer 47115 eine Erzengeldarstellung dokumentiert, deren Lichtführung und kompositionelles Schema dem hier angebotenen Gemälde ähnlich sind. In caravaggesker Lichtführung zeichnen sich die von dem Engel erleuchteten Gestalten (Petrus wird durch einen am Boden liegenden Schlüssel personifiziert) ab und Putti in einer Wolkenlichtung weisen den Weg. (Apg 12,6-7). (12115128) (13)
