EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a study for the Altar of the Vasari Family in Arezzo, created by the renowned Italian artist Giorgio Vasari in 1563. The artwork, executed with pen and ink on paper, measures 56.5x38.3 cm and is currently housed at the Hamburger Kunsthalle in Hamburg, Germany. The image depicts St. Peter Fishing, an iconic scene from biblical lore set on the shores of the Sea of Galilee. In this sketch-like design, Vasari masterfully captures the essence of St. Peter as he responds to Christ's calling to become a fisher of men. Vasari's Mannerist style shines through in this Renaissance-era piece, characterized by its elongated figures and exaggerated poses. The apostle stands tall with his fishing net draped over his shoulder while gazing out into the vast sea before him. As one of Christ's most devoted disciples and known as "the catcher of men". St. Peter holds great significance within evangelical narratives. This cartoonish drawing serves as a preliminary study for a larger altar composition dedicated to the influential Vasari family. With its intricate details and profound spiritual symbolism, this historic artwork continues to captivate viewers centuries later. It offers us a glimpse into both Vasari's artistic genius and his deep understanding of religious iconography during this transformative period in art history.
