Monasterio de San Juan de la Peña, near Jaca, Huesca province, Aragon, Spain: after his death and resurrection, Jesus Christ appears to his disciples as they fish unsuccessfully in the Sea of Galilee - and advises them to cast their net on the other side of their boat. According to the New Testament Gospel of John, the result was a “miraculous catch” of 153 large fish, so heavy that the disciples had to tow their net to the shore rather than haul it on board. This detail of a damaged Romanesque stone capital sculpted in about 1190 AD depicts Jesus, with a cruciform halo, advising one of his disciples, probably Simon (Peter), where to cast the net. Jesus stands on the shore, suggesting that the scene shows the second of two similar incidents said to have occurred years apart. Confusingly, both are referred to as the “miraculous catch of fish” or “miraculous draught of fishes”. According to the Gospel of Luke, the first event took place early in Jesus’ ministry and resulted in Simon and the sons of Zebedee, James and John, joining the disciples as “fishers of men” after their huge catch almost broke their nets and sank their boat. In depictions of this event, Jesus is usually shown sitting in the boat. The second “miraculous catch”, recounted in the Gospel of John, may refer to the same incident but is set much later, after the resurrection, and mentions a precise haul of 153 fish. Jesus is usually depicted standing on the shore beside the boat, as in this example. The Benedictine monastery was founded under a bulging rock overhang in the Central Pyrenees by hermit monks fleeing the 10th century expansion in the Moorish occupation of Spain. This artwork is among 20 capitals in its cloister portraying biblical stories, all carved by the Master of San Juan de la Peña or Master of Agüero. When viewed as a whole, they symbolised a New Jerusalem. D1010.B2155
