This painting is related to Duccio's "The calling of apostles Peter and Andrew". The two disciples are so involved in their worldly activity, that they are completely unaware of the obvious fact of the presence of God in their world and the undeniable miracle of His resurrection. That's how people go about our everyday business, ignoring the Truth that stares them in the face. The painting is remarkable in depicting realistic Christ as a dominant, muscular, tall and physically powerful man (not as a feeble, emaciated, slender man painted by the majority of Christian artists).
