EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a timeless scene from the 16th century, depicting Christ standing at the left side of the frame. With a gentle gesture, he points towards a flock of sheep, symbolizing his role as the Good Shepherd. Kneeling before him is St. Peter, holding the keys to the church in his hands, signifying his position as the first Pope. In this masterful engraving by Master of the Die, we witness an intimate moment between Jesus and one of his closest disciples. Behind St. Peter stand other apostles who have gathered to witness this sacred interaction. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every line and shadow, showcasing their mastery over their craft during Italy's Renaissance period. The composition exudes a sense of reverence and spirituality that transcends time. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece reflects not only religious devotion but also serves as a testament to Italian heritage art. Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino (Raphael), renowned for his contributions to Christian iconography during this era, may have influenced or inspired Master of the Die's work. As we gaze upon this image captured through centuries-old techniques, it reminds us of our shared human connection with faith and spirituality across different cultures and time periods.
