Description
English: Saint Peter—Jesus’s disciple and the first pope in Rome—turns his grave face to look straight at us. His grim gaze seems to admonish us to think about our deeds and live a Christian life. The key is Peter’s customary symbol. In the seventeenth century, Saint Peter was an important symbol for the papacy and the Catholic Church, but he is a relatively unusual motif for Rembrandt. The directness with which the figure meets the viewer is, however, very characteristic. The chiaroscuro—where the face, hand, and key dramatically emerge from the dark—is also typical of the artist’s work.
Svenska: Aposteln Petrus – Jesu lärjunge och den förste påven i Rom – vänder sig allvarsamt rakt mot oss. Hans bistra blick tycks förmana oss att betänka våra handlingar och leva kristligt. Nyckeln är Petrus stående symbol. Petrus var under 1600-talet en viktig symbol för påvedömet och den katolska kyrkan, och är ett relativt ovanligt motiv i Rembrandts produktion. Den direkthet med vilken gestalten möter betraktaren är dock mycket representativ för konstnären. Ljusdunklet – där ansikte, hand och nyckel dramatiskt träder fram ur mörkret – är också typiskt för konstnären.
