The tears of Saint Peter- An expression in pure humility. Betrayal, regret and remorse. It tells a story of a disciple prophesied betrayal of his master, Jesus Christ, and more so, a friend betraying the deepest of friends. For appreciators of art, the Tears of Saint Peter is a symbol of all the elements of regret, humility and remorse that are common traits among the imperfect human nature and inevitably parts of our soul. Masterly executed artwork by a skilled artist who communicates this deeply emotional episode with thin strokes and fine detail. Probably the object of much devotion, in some temple or hermitage, by a devotional worshippers who came to this image in aid of their spiritual needs. Excellent condition, great care taken in re-varnishing it and beautifully reframing it. Provenance German private collection
