About the Item
An extremely rare pair of original 11th century French Romanesque limestone hand carved sculptures of Saint Peter and Saint Paul. Each figure is represented on a marble block, without the pedestal the hight of the figures is 21 cm and width is 3.5 cm.
Religious life in the 11th and 12th centuries underwent a dramatic transformation, which has been described as the transition from “transcendental” Christianity that emphasized the Old Testament.
French sculptures originally copied ancient Roman models and then found its own original form in the decoration of Gothic architecture.
On the bottom back of each figure there are old inventory labels. On one label it says “Paris XI. siècle” which translates in English “Paris 11th century “. On the other one it says “ W. 6A-C Inventaire” which translates in English “ W. 6A-C Inventory “. We assume those labels were markings of some sort of inventory from a private collection or archeologist.
Those sculptures are very rare find. To possess pieces of art and French history which are over 1000 years old is an incredible and unique privilege.
