Miraculous Draught of Fish

The Miraculous Draught of Fish or Peter Finding the Coin in the Mouth of a Fish is an oil on panel painting currently attributed to the Flemish artist Jacob Jordaens and dated to c. 1618-1620. It is in the collection of the Musée des Beaux-Arts of Strasbourg. The subject of the painting has traditionally been identified as one of the two stories of the miraculous draught of fish as told in the New Testament. Jordaens had already treated this subject earlier in the Miraculous Catch of Fish in the St. James' Church of Antwerp. The observation that Saint Peter appears to be looking for a coin in the mouth of the fish suggests that it may depict another New Testament story, i.e. the story of Peter looking to retrieve a silver coin from the mouth of a fish to pay the tribute (or temple) money. The latter subject has been treated by Jordaens in two other compositions.
