Description: | Signed: yes Description: The painting depicts an episode from Saint John's Gospel which follows Christ's resurrection. On their return to Galilee, the disciples recognise Christ after he helped them catch a miraculously large number of fish. Jesus stands next to a fire where a fish is being cooked. He awaits Peter, who has left the boat and walks towards the shore through the sea, his arms raised in a gesture of joy and recognition. In the background, the daily activities of a fishing village continue in a fantastic landscape with ruins, which is painted in the tradition of Joachim Patinir. | Subjects: | religion (Christ Appearing to Peter); everyday life; landscape | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Heemskerck, Maerten van (Dutch painter, 1498-1574) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8953... | Go to resource |
