Landscape with Christ Appearing to the Apostles at the Sea of Tiberias 1553

Pieter Bruegel the Elder’s “Landscape with Christ Appearing to the Apostles at the Sea of Tiberias” is a painting from 1553. It depicts a biblical scene with Christ appearing before his apostles on the Sea of Tiberias, a scene that was popular with Northern European artists. The image is set against a dramatic landscape with rocky cliffs, a winding river, and a distant town. The depiction of landscape and its details, like the small figures of people engaged in daily activities, showcases Bruegel’s characteristic meticulous style and naturalistic approach to painting.
