Is an acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas artwork of dimensions 24" by 36" Having always been fascinated by the huge stained-glass windows in European churches, I have loved to paint them on canvas. This particular stained-glass window shows one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ - St. Peter.St. Peter was one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ and one of the first leaders of the early Christian Church. He was originally known as Simon and was a fisherman by trade. Jesus called Peter and his brother Andrew, James, and John to leave everything behind to become His followers. Jesus said to them, “Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men”
St. Peter is recognized in the early Christian church as the leader of the 12 disciples. St. Peter is often depicted holding keys in his hands. The keys of heaven or keys of Saint Peter are seen as a symbol of papal authority and are seen on papal coats of arms (those of individual popes) and those of the Holy See and Vatican City State.
I would love my viewers to enjoy this artwork and want to go see these beautiful stained-glass windows.
