EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Calling of St. Peter" a remarkable pencil on paper artwork by Carlo Maratta or Maratti. The piece is part of the prestigious Devonshire Collections at Chatsworth, and its reproduction has been authorized by the Chatsworth Settlement Trustees. In this baroque study, we witness a profound moment as Jesus Christ calls upon St. Peter to become one of his disciples. The scene unfolds on a fishing boat, where Peter and his brother Andrew are seen diligently casting their nets into the water in hopes of catching fish. Maratta's skillful sketch captures the intensity of the moment with precision and detail. With an outstretched arm, Jesus points towards a miraculous haul of fish that fills their net, symbolizing not only their physical catch but also their spiritual calling. The monochrome rendering adds depth to this powerful composition, emphasizing both the dramatic lighting and intricate textures created solely through pencil strokes. As we observe this scene unfold before us, it becomes evident that Maratta masterfully conveys not only the awe-inspiring encounter between Simon Peter and Jesus but also highlights the significance of faith in our lives. "The Calling of St. Peter" serves as a timeless reminder that sometimes life presents unexpected opportunities that require us to take a leap of faith - just like these humble fishermen who became saints through answering Jesus' call.
