EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Miraculous Draught of Fishes" depicts a biblical scene from St Luke, Chapter 5, Verses 1-12. Created by the renowned artist Raphael (Raffaello Sanzio of Urbino) in the early 16th century, this print is part of a private collection. In this powerful illustration for "The Pictorial History of the Bible" we witness an extraordinary event as described in the Gospel of Luke. The scene unfolds with Saint Peter and his fellow fishermen struggling to catch fish all night. However, their luck changes dramatically when Jesus instructs them to cast their nets on the other side of their boat. As they obey His command, an abundance of fish miraculously fills their nets beyond capacity. Overwhelmed by this divine intervention, Saint Peter falls at Jesus' feet in awe and reverence. Through intricate lines and shading techniques characteristic of engraving artistry during the 19th century, Raphael's work beautifully captures both the astonishment and spiritual significance behind this miraculous moment. The detailed depiction showcases not only the human figures but also highlights various species of fish swimming alongside them. "The Miraculous Draught of Fishes" serves as a testament to Raphael's mastery as an artist while bringing to life one of Christianity's most profound stories. This timeless piece continues to inspire viewers with its evocative portrayal and enduring message about faith and divine providence.
