Apostle, keys and repentance · Saint Peter
Rubens, Caravaggio, Rembrandt and Masaccio tell Peter through the handing over of the keys, the denial, the prison and the crucifixion.
Simon Peter is one of the first disciples called by Jesus and becomes the main figure of the apostolic group. Fisherman of Galilee, he receives the name Peter and the keys to the Kingdom, attributes which underpin his representation as guardian and head of the Church. Rubens depicts the transmission of keys in a solemn exchange of gestures. However, Peter's iconography is also based on his fragility. During the Passion, he denies knowing Christ three times; THE Caravaggio and Rembrandt transform this episode into a drama of looks, hands and night light. The tears and penance that follow give the saint a particular humanity. Imprisoned then miraculously delivered, Peter appears in Rembrandt in a dark meditation. Masaccio represents his crucifixion upside down, a form chosen according to tradition out of humility before Christ. The "Saint Peter" selection notably compares Christ giving the keys to saint Peter - Peter Paul Rubens and The Denial of Saint Peter - Caravaggio. Its reading favors details.
Peter carries the keys, but also the tears: authority, weakness and forgiveness together make up his face as an apostle.
