# Miraculous Catch of Fish [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [PLATZER, Johann Georg]() - Date: 1701-1750 - Technique: Oil on copper, 44 x 63 cm ## Commentary In Vienna, Platzer had the opportunity to study the sumptuous and sensuous paintings of the 17th-century School of Antwerp, and he expressed his preference for this school in his paintings. As a history painter, Platzer was equally at home with historical scenes, scenes from classical mythology and from the Bible. The Miraculous Catch of Fish" \(Luke 5, 1-11\) exemplifies his preference for multifigured scenes. ## Related artworks - [Abraham Receiving the Three Angels]() - [Allegory of Five Senses]() - [Allegory of Love]() - [Allegory of Love]() - [Dedication of the Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem]() - [Destruction by Titus of the Temple of Herod in Jerusalem]() - [The Artist's Studio]() - [The Artist's Studio]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
