About this work

Christ multiplies the loaves and fishes, amidst his disciples and onlookers. In the background, the Sea of Galilee where fishermen cast their nets into the water at Christ's command to catch fish. Before Christ, in the water, Peter with folded hands. On the shore, James and John hauling in the nets. Below the image, two lines in Latin.
