EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "[The calling of Sts Peter and Andrew], 1730-50" transports us back to the 18th century with its timeless depiction of a significant moment in Christian history. Created by Italian artist Pietro Monaco, this engraving showcases his exceptional talent for capturing religious narratives. In this scene, we witness Jesus Christ summoning two fishermen turned apostles, Sts Peter and Andrew. Set against the backdrop of a tranquil sea, their fishing boat gently rocks on the water as they respond to Jesus' call. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke; from the intricate engravings on the boat to the expressions on each figure's face. Monaco masterfully conveys both the awe-inspiring power of Jesus' presence and the humble obedience of Peter and Andrew through their hand gestures. This artwork serves as a visual representation of faith and devotion that resonates with viewers across time. Now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece by Luca Giordano's pupil offers an insight into Italy's rich artistic heritage. Its monochromatic palette adds depth and intensity to an already profound subject matter. As we gaze upon this remarkable print by Pietro Monaco, we are reminded not only of our spiritual roots but also how art can transcend centuries, connecting us with stories that continue to inspire people worldwide.
