In Vienna, Platzer had the opportunity to study the sumptuous and sensuous paintings of the 17th-century School of Antwerp, and he expressed his preference for this school in his paintings. As a history painter, Platzer was equally at home with historical scenes, scenes from classical mythology and from the Bible. The Miraculous Catch of Fish" (Luke 5, 1-11) exemplifies his preference for multifigured scenes.
