Christ appearing to Saint Peter 

This painting, "Christ Appearing to Saint Peter," by James Tissot, depicts the moment when Jesus appears to Peter, the apostle, after his resurrection. The setting is a verdant, wooded area, with olive trees prominent in the foreground. Christ, clothed in a white robe, stands near a tree trunk, while Peter, in a brown cloak and blue tunic, appears to be running away, clutching his head in confusion. The composition highlights the contrasting responses of the two figures, with Jesus's serene presence contrasting with Peter's surprised and somewhat fearful reaction. This painting, part of Tissot's series of works depicting the life of Christ, is now on display at the Brooklyn Museum.
