1602 (ca.), Annibale Carracci, Christ appearing to Saint Peter on the Appian Way (Domine, Quo Vadis?) -- National Gallery, London -- National Gallery (London)
From the museum label: Saint Peter was fleeing the persecution of Christians in Rome when he encountered a vision of Christ. When he asked, 'Domine quo vadis? (Lord, where are you going?), Christ replied that he was going to Rome to be crucified for a second time. Peter then returned to Rome to face martyrdom.
