Master ES's Saint Peter, c. 1450/1460: A Gothic Depiction of the Apostle's Unwavering Faith This evocative print, created by the enigmatic German artist Master ES around 1450/1460, presents a powerful and moving image of Saint Peter, one of the most revered figures in Christian history. The Saint, depicted as a mature man with a strong, determined gaze, stands tall and proud, his halo illuminating the grey background. Dressed in the robes of a bishop, Peter's right hand is raised in blessing, while his left hand clutches a large key, symbolizing the keys to the kingdom of heaven. The intricate lettering at the bottom of the print identifies the figure as "Petrus," the Latin name for Peter, and "Apostolus," meaning apostle. The artist's masterful use of contrasting shades of black and white adds depth and texture to the image, creating a sense of timelessness and spiritual intensity. Saint Peter, also known as Simon Peter or Simon Cephas, was a fisherman by trade before being called by Jesus to become one of his twelve apostles. He is renowned for his unwavering faith, as seen in the New Testament story of him walking on water towards Jesus during a storm. This image of Saint Peter, with his strong, unwavering stance and steadfast gaze, serves as a powerful reminder of the faith and courage that defines this important biblical character. This beautiful and intricately detailed print is a testament to the artistic skill and mastery of Master ES, a little-known artist from the fifteenth century. It is a valuable addition to any art collection, and a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of the German and Swiss Gothic tradition.
