Jesus Calls the First Disciples - Biblical Scene at the Sea of Galilee #141813 (License: Personal Use)

This 19th-century woodcut depicts the Gospel account (Matthew 4:18-22, Mark 1:16-20) where Jesus calls four fishermen to follow Him, promising to make them “fishers of men.” The scene shows Christ with a halo, gesturing toward the disciples as they work with nets and boats; in the background, Capernaum and crowds gather near the water’s edge. Fine linework captures the texture of robes, waves, and distant architecture, evoking both reverence and immediacy.
