The Basilica of Saint Clement Lateran is a complex of buildings in Rome, Italy centered around a Catholic church dedicated to Pope Clement I. The site is notable for being an archaeological record of early Rome's religious, political, and architectural history. from the Christian era to the Middle Ages.
The old church was transformed over the centuries from a private home that was the site of clandestine Christian worship in the first century to a grand public basilica in the sixth century, reflecting the growing legitimacy and power of the emerging Catholic church.
The house was originally owned by a Christian consul and martyr, Tito Flavio Clemente, who was one of the first Roman senators to convert to Christianity. He allowed his house to be used as a secret meeting place for his fellow Christians, which religion was then prohibited.
There is evidence of a pagan cult at the site. In the 2nd century members of a Mithraist cult built a small temple dedicated to Mithras in an insula, or apartment complex, on the site. This temple, used for initiation rituals, lasted until around the end of the 3rd century.
Excavations in the 1860s revealed the first forgotten basilica underlying the medieval one. In the late 4th or early 5th century, after Christianity had become the official religion of Rome, the small church was enlarged, acquiring the neighboring insula and other nearby buildings; the architects began to work on the complex of rooms and patios, building a central nave on the site of the previous church, and an apse on the previous mithraeum. The new church was dedicated to Pope Clement I, a first-century Christian convert and a contemporary of Titus Flavius Clement. Restorations were undertaken in the 9th century and around 1080-99.1
Apart from those in the Church of Santa Maria Antiqua, the most extensive collection of wall paintings from the early Middle Ages are those found in the lower basilica of San Clemente. Over the following centuries, San Clemente became a "beacon" for church artists and sculptors, benefiting from the generosity of the Byzantine Empire. Currently, it is one of the most richly decorated churches in Rome.
The last great event that occurred in the lower basilica was the election in 1099 of Cardinal Rainerius of San Clemente as Pope Paschal II.
The current basilica was rebuilt in a campaign by Cardinal Anastasius, c. 1099-h. 1120, after the original church was burned to the ground during the Norman sack...

19th Century Carved Oak Study of St. Paul the Apostle, English, circa 1860
Located in Central England, GB
This remarkable and very finely carved study of the biblical figure of St Paul, The Apostle who was originally Saul of Tarsus born BCE. Tarsus in Cilicia (now in Turkey). He died circa 62 – 64 CE in Rome, Italy. He was one of the leaders of the first generation Christians and was often considered to be the most important person after Jesus in the history of Christianity. This highly accomplished wood carving is a difficult material for detailing English oak. It shows him standing barefoot and dressed in simple robes with a sword in one hand and a scroll in the other. His face has been well captured with a good expression, detailed hair and a long beard. The small scale of this figure would indicate it was not originally church decoration...

Antique, New and Vintage Sculptures
Styling your home with vintage, new and antique sculptures means adding a touch that can meaningfully transform the space. By introducing a sculptural work as a decorative finish to any interior, you’re making a statement, whether you tend toward the dramatic or prefer to keep things casual with modest, understated art.
A single, one-of-a-kind three-dimensional figurative sculpture mounted on your dining room wall is a guaranteed conversation piece, while a trio of abstract works arranged on your living room bookshelves can add spontaneity to the collection of first-edition novels or artist monographs you’re displaying as well as draw attention to them. Figurative sculptures are representational works that portray a specific person, animal or object. And while decorating with busts, which are sculpted or cast figurative works, hasn’t exactly topped the list of design trends every year, busts are back. According to designer Timothy Corrigan, “They give humanity in a way that a more abstract sculpture can’t give.” Abstract sculptures, on the other hand, are not meant to show something specific. Instead, they invoke a mood or scene without directly stating what they are portraying.
Busts made of stone or metal may not seem like a good fit for your existing decor. Fortunately, there are many ways for a seemingly incongruous piece to fit in with the rest of your room’s theme. You can embrace a dramatic piece by making it the focal point of the room, or you can choose to incorporate several elements made out of the same material to create harmony in your space. If an antique or more dramatic piece doesn’t feel like you, why not opt for works comprising plastic, fiberglass or other more modern materials?
When incorporating sculpture into the design of your home — be it the playful work of auction hero and multimedia visionary KAWS, contemporary fiber art from Connecticut dealer browngrotta arts or still-life sculpture on a budget — consider proper lighting, which can bring out the distinctive aspects of your piece that deserve attention. And make sure you know how the size and form of the sculpture will affect your space in whole. If you choose a sculpture with dramatic design elements, such as sharp angles or bright colors, for example, try to better integrate this new addition by echoing those elements in the rest of your room’s design.
Get started on decorating with sculpture now — find figurative sculptures, animal sculptures and more on 1stDibs today.
