Jesus Walks on the Water, Sustaining Saint Peter 1607 - 1611

Editor: This is Jacques Callot's "Jesus Walks on the Water, Sustaining Saint Peter." It's a small etching, quite detailed, and the scene feels both chaotic and divinely ordered. I'm curious, what strikes you most about this piece? Curator: Oh, the drama! It's a story frozen in time. Callot beautifully captures Peter's crisis of faith, that moment of doubt. It's like he's saying, even saints have wobbly knees, eh? It makes you wonder about our own moments of doubt. Ever feel like you're sinking? Editor: Absolutely. Curator: And what does it tell us about faith? Editor: Maybe it's about reaching for help even when we're terrified. Curator: Exactly! Callot reminds us it's okay to falter. It's the reaching that matters, isn't it? A little hand-holding from above can't hurt either.
