EDITORS COMMENTS
St. Peter Finding the Tribute Money," also known as "The Ferry Boat to Antwerp," is a captivating Baroque painting by the renowned Flemish artist Jacob Jordaens, created in 1623. This masterpiece, currently housed in the National Museum of Denmark in Copenhagen, Denmark, showcases a pivotal moment from the New Testament of the Bible. In the painting, St. Peter, an apostle of Jesus, is depicted with a determined expression as he reaches into the mouth of a large fish to retrieve the coins needed to pay the temple tax. The event is described in the Gospel of Matthew (17:24-27), where Jesus instructs Peter to find the required sum by catching a fish and taking the first coin he finds in its mouth. The painting is filled with intriguing details. St. Peter, barefoot and wearing a simple hat, is shown in the foreground, surrounded by a group of disciples, including the infant Jesus and his mother, Mary. The scene takes place on the shores of a lake, with a crowded ferryboat in the background, heading towards Antwerp, Flanders. The boat is crammed with people and animals, including cows and other livestock, reflecting the bustling activity of the time. The age of the subjects in the painting ranges from the young infant Jesus to the older disciples, highlighting the diversity and inclusivity of the Christian community. The painting's rich colors and dynamic composition make it a stunning example of the Baroque art style, captivating viewers with its intricate details and biblical narrative. The National Museum of Denmark's acquisition of "St. Peter Finding the Tribute Money" is a significant addition to its collection, showcasing the country's strong historical ties to Flanders and the broader European artistic tradition.
