The Naming of Peter,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating engraving by the Italian artist Diana Mantuana, dates back to the 16th century. This evocative work of art, currently housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), provides a glimpse into the rich heritage of Christian art and the life of Saint Peter, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ. Mantuana, a follower of the renowned artist Raphael, masterfully conveys the momentous occasion of Saint Peter's naming by Jesus. In the image, we see a serene landscape with Jesus Christ standing before Saint Peter, who is depicted as a bearded, robust man. With a gentle touch, Jesus places his hand on Peter's head, symbolizing the bestowal of his new name and the conferral of his apostolic role. The composition of the artwork is reminiscent of the Renaissance period, with its focus on naturalism, idealized figures, and harmonious proportions. Mantuana's skilled use of contrast and shading in this engraving adds depth and texture, further enhancing the emotional impact of the scene. This evocative print, created by the talented hand of Diana Mantuana, offers a powerful reminder of the significant role Saint Peter played in the spread of Christianity and the enduring influence of the Renaissance in the history of art. The image invites us to reflect on the deep spiritual connection between Jesus and his chosen disciple, and the profound impact of their relationship on the world.
