The Calling of Saints Peter and Andrew is a painting by the Italian Baroque master Caravaggio. It takes its theme from a passage in the Gospel of Matthew describing the moment when Christ called the two brothers Simon – later known as Peter – and Andrew to be his disciples:As Jesus walked by the Sea of Galilee he saw two brothers Simon who is called Peter and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea – for they were fishermen.
