Christ Making Saint Peter Head of the Church

About this work

This engraving shows a group of men in flowing robes, gathered outdoors near a quiet village. One man stands tall, pointing toward a kneeling boy who holds a set of keys. The others watch closely, their faces turned toward the speaker. Behind them, a hill rises with trees, houses, and a church steeple. The artist used fine lines and shading to show the folds in the robes and the texture of the grass. The keys the boy holds hint at a story about leadership and trust. Look up engraving to see how artists like Diana Scultori created such detailed images with just a burin and ink.
