EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate detail from the facade of San Pietro in Spoleto, Umbria, Italy. The scene depicted is the calling of Andrew and Simon Peter to become apostles by Jesus Christ himself. Dating back to the 12th century, this stone relief sculpture showcases a pivotal moment in biblical history.
The image shows Andrew and Simon Peter in a boat on the Sea of Galilee, with Jesus standing on shore beckoning them to follow him. The colors are vibrant and rich, bringing life to this ancient artwork. The figures are expertly carved in stone, each detail meticulously crafted by skilled hands.
The composition of this piece is truly remarkable, with the boat floating peacefully on the water and fish swimming below. The halo above Jesus' head signifies his divinity as he calls upon these fishermen to join him in spreading his message.
This bas relief sculpture is a prime example of Romanesque art at its finest, capturing both religious devotion and artistic skill. It serves as a reminder of the important role that faith plays in shaping our lives and guiding us towards our true purpose.
