Description: Charming plaster cast after Raphael’s The Sacrifice at Lystra. The subject of the plaque shows the dismay of Saint Paul and Barnabas upon discovering that the people of the city of Lystra, to whom they preached the gospel, had begun to worship them as pagan gods, calling Barnabas Jupiter and Paul Mercury. It is based on a copy of Raphael’s cartoon The Sacrifice at Lystra (Act of the Apostles, 14.7 ff.), part of a series depicting the lives of Saints Peter and Paul, executed for the tapestries in the Sistine Chapel commissioned by Pope Leo X at the end of 1514 and now preserved in the Victoria & Albert Museum, London, on loan from the Royal Collection. The plaque measures approximately 11 inches long by 7.5 inches high and 1 inch thick at its widest point. The item(s) are antique and sold as is/as found unless otherwise noted.
