"The Miraculous Draught of Fishes" is a fresco painted by Raphael and his workshop between 1515 to 1516. Housed in the Raphael Rooms, inside the Apostolic Palace in Vatican City, this evocative artwork is part of a series of murals illustrating the acts of St. Peter and Paul.

Depicting a biblical narrative from the Gospel of Luke (Luke 5:1–11), the fresco portrays the miraculous catch of fish by the Apostles Peter and Andrew, after Jesus had directed their unsuccessful fishing efforts towards a copious hoard, to symbolize the onset of their spiritual journey, from fishers of fish to 'fishers of men.' This poignant episode was fundamental to the Christian faith, illustrating the divine prowess of Jesus and his impact on those who witnessed the miracles.

Raphael’s creativity embellishes each form, reflecting his unparalleled ability to turn spiritual narratives into enchantingly timeless pieces of art; the lightness, brightness, and harmonious aura of the fresco remain emblematic of the High Renaissance style. The freshness and distinctiveness of the color palette used - blues, greens and earthy tones - along with the exceptional representation of spatial and compositional elements, highlight Raphael's mastery in capturing and conveying the essence of the tale.

Supplementing the foreground of human figures are the depiction of the calm sea and the picturesque landscape in the background, which lends an atmospheric setting to the scene. Emotions and expressions are embodied through the portrayal of each figure—the amazement and disbelief in the faces of the Apostles, the serene sureness reflected in Jesus’ stance—all culminating in a transcendent work of art that provokes contemplation on divine intervention and faith.

Despite the fresco's apparent wear owing to the passage of time, "The Miraculous Draught of Fishes" remains an iconic testament to Raphael's artistic brilliance and his profound contributions to religious and Renaissance art.
