EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Miracle of the Fishes" after Raphael, a renowned Italian Renaissance artist. Created between 1511-1520 and republished in 1609, this woodcut captures the essence of Christian spirituality and the miraculous event it portrays. The image depicts Jesus Christ standing on the shores of Lake Tiberias (also known as Kinneret or Sea of Galilee), surrounded by a group of fisherfolk. With his arms outstretched, Jesus blesses their fishing nets which overflow with an abundance of fish. The scene is filled with awe-inspiring chiaroscuro effects created through three blocks used for printing. Niccolo Vicentino's skillful reproduction beautifully conveys the religious significance and geographical features associated with this biblical event. The serene lake serves as a backdrop to emphasize both the miracle itself and its location in ancient Israel. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported back to the 16th or 17th century when it was first appreciated by art enthusiasts. Preserved within The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece continues to inspire viewers today with its timeless message of faith and divine intervention. Through Vicentino's masterful craftsmanship, we are reminded not only of Raphael's genius but also our own connection to history and spirituality. This print invites us to reflect on our beliefs while appreciating the enduring power that art holds across centuries.
