Obraz Raffael Santi, Victoria and Albert Museum, Londýn, Anglie

Jesus sits at the stern of a small boat while Peter kneels before him in a gesture of humility amidst a large catch of fish. In an adjacent boat, three men strain to haul heavy nets from the water, while three large cranes stand in the foreground shallows. This work is a full-scale preparatory cartoon painted for a series of tapestries destined for the Sistine Chapel.

Commissioned by the Medici Pope Leo X, this work represents the High Renaissance synthesis of Christian theology and the Neoplatonic pursuit of ideal form and harmony. The composition reflects the era's intellectual effort to reconcile the authority of the Church with the rediscovered aesthetic and philosophical principles of classical antiquity.
