EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Tapestry: The Miraculous Draught of Fishes, created between 1717 and 1720 by the renowned Manufacture Royale des Gobelins. Housed in the esteemed Collection of State Hermitage in St. Petersburg, this masterpiece is a testament to both French craftsmanship and Christian symbolism. The tapestry depicts a scene from the New Testament where Jesus Christ, portrayed as a wonderworker, performs one of his miracles – the miraculous draught of fishes. With intricate details woven into silk and wool threads, every element comes alive with vibrant colors and lifelike textures. As we gaze upon this handwoven marvel, we are transported back to biblical times. We witness Jesus standing on a boat surrounded by his disciples as they cast their nets into the sea. The symbolism behind this miracle lies not only in its religious significance but also in its representation of abundance and divine intervention. The artist responsible for bringing this momentous event to life is Jean Jouvenet (1644-1717), whose talent shines through every stitch. His meticulous attention to detail captures the essence of each character's emotions while creating an atmosphere that evokes awe and reverence. This print allows us to appreciate not only fine art but also applied arts at their finest. It serves as a reminder that objects can transcend time and space, connecting us with stories from centuries ago. Let it inspire you with its beauty and remind you of the miracles that exist within our world.
