Saint Peter

Probably by Giuseppe Picano

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 550

Saint Peter and its mate Saint Andrew (see 2010.70.2) served as models for statues of the brother Apostles in the choir of the Oratorian church of the Girolamini in Naples. The statues were carved later (ca. 1795) by Picano's follower Francesco Vercella (Naples, active ca. 1790–1845).
