Description
St Peter and St Paul, Naples, 18th century, terracotta
Modelled and polychrome terracotta sculptures depicting the two saints: St Peter and St Paul, portrayed with intense expressions and their gazes turned to the side. The modelling is lively, with particular attention paid to the naturalistic rendering of the faces and drapery. The figures stand on moulded plinths featuring relief decoration and an identifying inscription. They retain their original polychromy; wear and slight abrasions are consistent with their age.
