**The Timeless Call of Discipleship**
In this exquisite print from the early Renaissance era (1470s), Italian artist Matteo di Giovanni masterfully captures a pivotal moment in Christian history. Jesus, depicted with gentle authority, beckons two fishermen - Peter and Andrew - to leave their nets behind and follow Him as His disciples.
As Christ leans forward to help Peter out of his boat, the apostle's hesitation is palpable. Meanwhile, Andrew casts aside his net, symbolizing a willingness to abandon his old life for a new path. The serene Sea of Galilee serves as the backdrop for this momentous decision.
This stunning panel was once part of an altarpiece predella, showcasing Matteo di Giovanni's skill in conveying emotion and drama through subtle facial expressions and body language. The artist's use of warm colors - gold, red, and blue - adds depth and richness to the scene.
As we gaze upon this 15th-century masterpiece from Heritage Images, let us be reminded of Jesus' enduring call to discipleship. May His words echo in our hearts: "Come follow me...
