Statues of the Twelve Apostles
The Apostle Peter
The statue of Saint Peter is one of a series of
gilded wooden sculptures of the 12 apostles.
They date from the 17th century and were
executed in the workshop of Gian Lorenzo
Bernini. Each one of them measures between
60-63 by 27-30 by 18-22 cm. They are
housed in the sacristy of the Basilica of Saint
Peter in Rome.
This 2002 conservation was courtesy of The
Minnesota Chapter of the Patrons of the Arts
in the Vatican Museums.
