EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning oil on canvas painting, titled "Christ Calling St. Peter and St. Andrew" by Diego Quispe Tito, dates back to 1681 and is a captivating piece from the Zodiac Series depicting parables of the life of Christ. The painting represents the sign of Pisces, symbolizing the vocation of the apostles. This masterpiece was created during the Colonial Baroque period in Peru, specifically in the city of Cusco, and is now proudly displayed in the Cathedral. The horizontal composition of the painting showcases a serene scene on the coastal bay, where Christ stands in the center, calling out to his future disciples, Peter and Andrew, who are depicted as fishermen mending their nets. The masculine figures of the men are portrayed with great detail, capturing the essence of the early modern era. The vibrant colors and rich textures of the painting bring the scene to life, transporting the viewer to the coastal waters of ancient times. Quispe Tito, a renowned Peruvian artist, expertly captures the moment of transformation as Peter and Andrew leave their fishing nets behind to follow Christ. The painting is a testament to the power of faith and the importance of obedience to God's call. This beautiful work of art not only showcases the artistic talent of the time but also offers a glimpse into the history and culture of colonial Peru.
