Painting Description
"St. Philip" is a sculptural work by Giuseppe Mazzuoli (1644–1725), an Italian Baroque sculptor from the city of Volterra. Created in the late 17th or early 18th century, this piece is part of a series of statues depicting the Twelve Apostles, commissioned for the Basilica of San Giovanni in Laterano in Rome, which is the cathedral church of the Diocese of Rome and the official ecclesiastical seat of the Bishop of Rome, who is the Pope.
Mazzuoli, who was active during the Baroque period, is known for his dynamic and expressive style, which is evident in the "St. Philip" statue. The work captures the apostle in a moment of contemplation or revelation, embodying the emotional intensity and movement characteristic of the Baroque era. The sculpture is crafted from marble and showcases Mazzuoli's skill in rendering fine details and creating a sense of life within the stone.
The statue of St. Philip is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its religious and cultural importance. It contributes to the grandeur of the Basilica of San Giovanni in Laterano, which holds a special place in the Christian world. The series of apostle statues to which "St. Philip" belongs was intended to replace an older set and was part of a broader program of artistic renovation under the patronage of Pope Clement XI.
Giuseppe Mazzuoli's "St. Philip" stands as a testament to the artist's mastery and the enduring legacy of Baroque art in the context of ecclesiastical patronage. It remains an object of veneration and an important piece within the rich tapestry of Italian Baroque sculpture.
