"Roeping van Petrus en Andreas" is a 16th-century engraving by Dutch artist Dirck Vellert, depicting a scene from the New Testament where Jesus calls Peter and Andrew to be his disciples. The artwork portrays the moment when Jesus, standing on the shore, tells Peter and Andrew, who are in a boat mending their nets, to "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men". Vellert's engraving, with its detailed landscape and dramatic figures, conveys the power and importance of this biblical moment.
