Pair Of Marble Medallions Depicting Saint Peter And Saint Paul. Rome, 17th Century

Pair of antique marble medallions, finely carved in bas-relief, depicting the patron saints of Rome: Saint Peter and Saint Paul. The two apostles are easily recognizable by their traditional iconographic attributes: Saint Peter with the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven, symbolizing his role as the first pope, and Saint Paul with the sword and the book, evoking his evangelizing mission and martyrdom.

The softness of the forms and the sober solemnity of the composition reveal the profound spirituality and classical taste typical of Italian sculpture from the mid-17th century.

Works of great historical and artistic interest, ideal for collectors and enthusiasts of sacred art and Baroque sculpture.

Condition: good, consistent with age, showing signs of wear and a charming patina that enhances their authenticity and timeless appeal.
