EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning sculpture of St. Peter, the first Pope and one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ, is a masterpiece created by the renowned Venetian sculptor Giuseppe de Fabris between 1838 and 1840. The statue, located in St. Peter's Square at the Vatican City in Rome, Italy, is a testament to the rich history and enduring influence of Christianity. St. Peter is depicted in the statue with an aged, bearded face, wearing a long robe and holding symbols of his apostolic authority. In his right hand, he holds the keys that he received from Jesus Christ in Caesarea of Philippi, symbolizing the power to bind and loose on earth and in heaven. In his left hand, he holds an inscribed scroll, possibly representing the Gospel or the words of God. The statue stands as a powerful reminder of the historical significance of St. Peter as the first Bishop of Rome and the founder of the Roman Catholic Church. St. Peter's Basilica, located nearby, is also named in his honor and is one of the most famous and revered religious sites in the world. This beautiful sculpture, created during the 19th century, is a contemporary representation of an ancient figure that continues to inspire and captivate people of all faiths and backgrounds. The intricate details and lifelike features of the statue make it a must-see for art lovers and history buffs alike, and a reminder of the enduring power and influence of religious art and iconography.
