The Vocation of St. Peter - A Masterpiece from the 12th Century
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases "The Vocation of St. Peter" a remarkable sculptural relief crafted in marble during the medieval period. Created around 1160-1165 by the renowned Master of Cabestany, this exquisite artwork originates from the Monastery of San Pere de Rodes in Catalonia, Spain. Immersed in rich iconography and religious symbolism, this high relief sculpture depicts an iconic biblical scene - Jesus calling upon Andrew and his brother, St. Peter, to become his disciples. The masterful craftsmanship is evident as every intricate detail comes to life; from their classic attire to the halo above their heads. The artist's skillful use of chisels and trephines brings depth and texture to each figure while capturing a sense of movement within the composition. The boat on calm waters symbolizes their journey into Christianity as they leave behind their former lives as fishermen. Displayed against an architectural backdrop with a door leading home, this masterpiece evokes a profound spiritual connection between faith and vocation. Its vertical format emphasizes its presence within sacred spaces like churches or monasteries. Now housed at Madrid's Frederic Marés Museum, this Romanesque treasure continues to inspire awe among art enthusiasts worldwide for its timeless beauty and historical significance. Through this photo print, viewers can appreciate both the mastery of the Master of Cabestany and the enduring legacy left by these ancient artisans who shaped Western art
