About the Item

A compelling pair of 19th century ecclesiastical oil paintings on panel, depicting Saint Paul and Saint Thomas, rendered in rich, devotional tones. These portraits capture the solemn presence and iconic attributes of the two saints, likely intended for private devotion or a small chapel setting. Saint Paul is shown with his traditional symbols: a sword and a book, referencing both his martyrdom and epistolary contributions to the New Testament. Saint Thomas is depicted holding a builder’s square—his common attribute as the patron saint of architects and builders—and possibly gesturing toward his famous moment of doubt. Painted on solid wood panels with a deep, moody palette and fine brushwork, the pair bears the marks of academic training rooted in European religious art traditions. The figures are front-facing, haloed, and portrayed with expressive realism against shadowy backgrounds that enhance their spiritual gravity.
