Art History Series: St. Peter Invited to Walk on Water

St. Peter Invited to Walk on Water, 1766 by Francois Boucher

Easter is quickly approaching and so today I will show you one of Boucher's religious paintings, namely "St. Peter Invited to Walk on the Water" from 1766. It is located in the Chateau of Versailles and is extremely detailed and pleasing to the eye, with impressive dimensions of 235x170. It is one of Bouchet's few Christian works, as he often draws his inspiration from Greek and Roman myths and legends, which I also feel quite close to. I am not religious and I am Jewish by blood, but I wish all those celebrating bright days and a moment of reflection! In these days of crisis around the world, let us remember that all spiritual leaders remind us of the same thing since the dawn of time - the only meaning and purpose in life is love and faith in goodness, let us strive for them with a pure heart.

Have a meaningful day, friends!

Regards,

Julia
