Christus loopt over het water en redt Petrus 1568

Cornelis Cort's 1568 etching, "Christus loopt over het water en redt Petrus," depicts the biblical story of Jesus walking on water and rescuing Peter from a stormy sea. The dramatic scene is rendered in fine detail, with a focus on the moment Jesus reaches out his hand to Peter who is struggling to stay afloat in a small boat. The composition emphasizes the contrast between the calmness of Jesus and the turmoil of the sea. This artwork, now held at the Rijksmuseum, demonstrates Cort's mastery of printmaking and his ability to capture both the physical and emotional aspects of a religious narrative.
