EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Georges de La Tour's masterpiece, "Saint Peter Rejecting Jesus" painted in 1650. The oil on canvas painting measures 120x161 cm and is a remarkable example of the Baroque style. Set against the backdrop of a dark night, the scene depicts Saint Peter clad in an impressive suit of armor, rejecting Jesus Christ. The use of candlelight illuminates their faces, adding an ethereal quality to the composition. This horizontal artwork is framed beautifully and captures the essence of Christianity and religious devotion. The medium group of people surrounding Saint Peter consists solely of men, emphasizing their role in this pivotal moment from the New Testament. La Tour's attention to detail brings each figure to life with exquisite precision. The painting transports viewers back to 17th century France, where religion played a significant role in society. It evokes contemplation about faith and human nature through its powerful imagery. Displayed outdoors at Nantes, this fine art piece commands attention with its striking colors and emotional intensity. Its historical significance cannot be understated as it represents one artist's interpretation of a profound biblical event. This print by Universal Images Group (UIG) serves as a testament to La Tour's artistic genius and offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate his skillful brushwork for themselves.
