The Miraculous Draught of Fish

Glastra depicts his own interpretation of the Biblical story: Saint Peter and other disciples of Christ pull their teeming nets of fish aboard a boat. After an unsuccessful night of fishing on the Sea of Tiberius, the tired and hungry disciples had seen a man standing on the shore and followed his advice to cast their nets over the boat’s right side. Their miraculous catch inspired Peter to recognize Christ, appearing after his death and resurrection.
