The “enigmatic” sculpture of saint Paul is located in a niche that currently overlooks Campo San Polo. Originally conceived as ornament of the main portal, the statue was moved as a consequence of restorations undertaken by David Rossi in the nineteenth century. “Enigmatic” because difficult to interpret, the sculpture has been identified by Wolfgang Wolters (1974) as an ancient Greek sculpture reworked in the 15th century to transform it into saint Paul. The article aims to reconsider all the elements available for an updated investigation of the ancient Greek iconographic type and of the fifteenth century portrait with the addition of archaeometric analysis for the identification of the marbles with which the statue was made and integrated.

Abstract
The “enigmatic” sculpture of saint Paul is located in a niche that currently overlooks Campo San Polo. Originally conceived as ornament of the main portal, the statue was moved as a consequence of restorations undertaken by David Rossi in the nineteenth century. “Enigmatic” because difficult to interpret, the sculpture has been identified by Wolfgang Wolters (1974) as an ancient Greek sculpture reworked in the 15th century to transform it into saint Paul. The article aims to reconsider all the elements available for an updated investigation of the ancient Greek iconographic type and of the fifteenth century portrait with the addition of archaeometric analysis for the identification of the marbles with which the statue was made and integrated.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
