The statue "The Miraculous Catch of Fish" is a striking artwork in Urk that symbolizes the village's rich fishing history. The statue refers to the biblical story of the miraculous catch of fish, but also pays tribute to the lifestyle and culture of Urk's fishermen.

The artwork represents abundance, cooperation, and a connection with the water. It commemorates the generations of fishermen who dedicated their lives and work to the IJsselmeer and fishing, and demonstrates how important this tradition has been to Urk's identity.

"The Miraculous Catch of Fish" is part of a series of public artworks in Urk that emphasize both the village's history and culture. It is a place where art, religion, and daily fishing practices converge, and where visitors symbolically connect with Urk's maritime heritage.

The statue offers a unique blend of cultural history and visual experience, serving as a landmark for anyone visiting Urk's harbor and village center.
