"The Miraculous Draught of Fishes" is a renowned painting created by the German-Swiss artist Konrad Witz between 1443 and 1444. This masterpiece is part of the altarpiece known as the "Saint Peter Altarpiece," originally commissioned for the Cathedral of Saint Peter in Geneva. The painting is celebrated for its innovative approach to landscape and its detailed depiction of a biblical scene.

Witz's work illustrates the New Testament story of the miraculous catch of fish, as narrated in the Gospel of John (21:1-14). The scene captures the moment when the resurrected Christ appears to his disciples at the Sea of Galilee and instructs them to cast their nets on the right side of their boat, resulting in an abundant catch. The painting is notable for its realistic portrayal of the figures and the natural environment, a significant departure from the more stylized and symbolic representations typical of the medieval period.

One of the most striking features of "The Miraculous Draught of Fishes" is its detailed and accurate depiction of the landscape. Witz meticulously renders the Lake Geneva region, with the distant Alps providing a dramatic backdrop. This attention to geographical specificity marks a significant development in the history of Western art, as it reflects a growing interest in naturalism and the observation of the natural world.

The painting also demonstrates Witz's skillful use of light and shadow to create depth and volume, enhancing the three-dimensionality of the figures and the landscape. The disciples are depicted with individualized expressions and gestures, adding to the narrative's emotional impact.

"The Miraculous Draught of Fishes" is housed in the Musée d'Art et d'Histoire in Geneva, where it continues to be admired for its artistic innovation and historical significance. It remains a pivotal work in the study of early Northern Renaissance art, exemplifying the transition from medieval to Renaissance artistic principles.
