A Long Look Podcast

The Calling of the Apostles Peter and Andrew by Duccio di Buoninsegna

17 May 2020

Description

This colorful panel painting depicts an episode early in Jesus's career–the moment he called Peter and his brother Andrew to join his ministry. It was part of an enormous altarpiece for the cathedral of Siena. We'll find out what prompted the cathedral powers to hire Duccio, Siena's top artist and how innovative he was in depicting stories of Mary and Jesus's lives. And we meet a few friendly fish!
