"Miraculous Draught of Fishes" Konrad Witz

"Miraculous Draught of Fishes" by Konrad Witz
Oil on wood
1444
German Painter
Northern Renaissance- Holy Roman Empire

This image depicts the release of Saint Peter from prison as well as the first Pope's failure to walk on water like Jesus. The landscape is key because the water and sky are nearly perfect. The reflections in the water look realistic as well as the clearness of the water.
