EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Raphael's masterpiece, "The Miraculous Draught of Fishes" painted in 1515. The artwork depicts a significant biblical event where Jesus sits in one of the boats and calls upon Peter to abandon his fishing profession and become his disciple, a fisher of men. In this miraculous scene, Jesus performs a miracle that fills the nets with an abundance of fish, making it challenging for the fishermen to haul them in. The foreground features cranes eagerly awaiting their chance to feast on the overflowing catch. Painted as a cartoon specifically for Brussels tapestry weavers, this piece from the Victoria & Albert Museum in London beautifully captures both religious symbolism and natural elements. The image portrays Jesus Christ with his halo shining brightly above him while surrounded by vibrant colors that bring life to the scene. The tranquil lake serves as a geographical feature, representing Lake Tiberias or Sea of Galilee where this miracle took place during the 16th century. Raphael's attention to detail is evident through his depiction of fishermen diligently working on their boats amidst breathtaking surroundings. This art print not only reflects historical significance but also highlights Raphael's artistic brilliance and ability to convey profound religious narratives through visual storytelling.
