Now I wonder if anyone can help me. I'm clueless about art. I once saw a painting, pretty sure it was also Baroque style, of an elderly St Peter in prison. Not his release by an angel, which is all I can find. Neither is it the Rembrandt where he kneels in a shaft of light. As far as I remember, he is seated, shoeless, and looks so old and bewildered you just want to put your arms around him.
I love this one too. He looks like he is struggling to understand what is happening, in the way old people do:

Ger, the artist in your last post, is Hendrick Terbruggen, Dutch baroque era painter, ca. 1588-1629. Here are some more of his paintings. Caravaggio is one of my very favorite artists. Artemesia Gentileschi, one of his contemporaries, is another of my favorites! Here is one of hers, showing Carravagio's influence. And here, you can see more of her work.
Judith Beheading Holofernes
