# Saint Peter Repentant, in Georges de La Tour's contemporaries

Georges de La Tour painted this in 1645, aged 52. It is now at the Cleveland Museum of Art.

From the museum's label:

> During Jesus’s arrest on the night of the Last Supper, the apostle Peter denied knowing him. Although Christ forgave his betrayal, Peter was consumed by guilt. Georges de La Tour represents Peter as an old man, reflecting on his past actions in a state of perpetual repentance.
