Along the riverbank walks the archangel whose name is Saint Gabriel. He is seen carrying the fish he had caught. Archangel Gabriel is a representative of a spirit that is pure and made by God. The symbolism of the fish in Christian art is that of water and a baptism. The fish is widely known in the Christian texts to be associated with those that converted to the religion of Christianity. There is a reference made where Jesus promised Peter that he would make a fisher of men. The elegance and reverence depicted in the oil paintings of Edgar Aguirre Gomez are found displayed in churches and colonial convents of Cuzco. Edgar has made this ‘Archangel Gabriel the Fisherman’ reflect the works found there. In Spanish the name reads “Arcángel Gabriel pescador” and it goes for $119.95.
