- Lot Description
Spanish school, second third century XVII. "San Pedro". Oil on canvas. Measurements: 40 x 32 cm .; 54 x 46 cm. (Frame). Devotional image of Saint Peter. The saint appears seated, wrapped in a blue cloak and draped tunic, with his gaze directed out of frame, as if listening to a distant call. The large keys, his main attribute, symbol of the Kingdom of Heaven, rest on the ground, and behind them a twilight landscape opens up. The mysterious presence of the rooster could allude to the transition between day and night, light and darkness, which the saint embodies in the history of Christianity. The monumental canon of the figure, the naturalism printed in the description of the clothes and the baroque lights that build the landscape place the painting in the Spanish 17th century. Saint Peter was, according to the New Testament, a fisherman, known for being one of the twelve apostles of Jesus. The Catholic Church identifies him through the apostolic succession as the first Pope, based, among other arguments, on the words Jesus addressed to him: "You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my Church, and the power of Death will not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." St. Peter could be said to have been Jesus' confessor, his closest disciple, both being united by a very special bond, as narrated in both the canonical and apocryphal Gospels.
