EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and evocative oil painting depicts St. Peter, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ, in a moment of profound repentance. Painted by Karel van Mander III in the 17th century, this work captures the essence of the biblical story of Peter's denial of Jesus. During the Last Supper, Jesus had predicted that Peter would deny knowing him before the rooster crowed the next morning. After Jesus' arrest, Peter denied knowing him three times. Following the third denial, Peter heard the rooster crow and was struck with remorse as he recalled Jesus' prediction and turned to look at him. The painting shows an elderly, bearded man with long, flowing white hair and bare feet, dressed in simple robes. He is depicted with a pensive expression on his face, his hands clasped in prayer, and a rooster perched on a rock nearby. The use of rich colors and bold brushstrokes adds to the intensity of the scene, while the inclusion of birds in the background adds a sense of nature and the passage of time. This painting is a testament to the enduring power of religious art and the human capacity for regret and redemption. It is a valuable addition to the collection of the Statens Museum for Kunst (National Gallery of Denmark) in Copenhagen, where it is displayed for visitors to appreciate as a part of Denmark's rich cultural heritage.
